Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

Detroit comes into this series looking forward to playing an opponent more of their caliber, as they started the season against the Super Team of the MLB, the LA Dodgers. The Tigers did put up a decent fight in that series, and the offense was productive, but the pitching staff needs to be better. Detroit will turn to Jackson Jobe in this one, who is a rookie, so it is hard to tell what we are going to get. Seattle split a four-game set with the A’s, but their offense did not start the season on the right foot, as they have scored just eight runs. The under is always worth a look in a Seattle game, but I like how Detroit hit the ball in LA, and I am taking them to win here.
