In this Mariners vs Tigers Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -135 road favorites. The Mariners have been red-hot lately with a 9-1 record in their last 10 games, but the Tigers are coming off an impressive series sweep on the road against the Rays, having scored 25 runs in three games. Both pitchers have been extremely hittable, as Woo has been far weaker on the road and Valdez has a 5.14 home ERA and the Mariners have been hitting lefties really well as of late. The total is set at a low 7.5 runs, so I will go over that number in this one.
