Seattle Mariners vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Seattle Mariners are the better team and have more to play for at this stage, but they’ve also had some disappointing results and the offense often runs hot and cold. The Detroit Tigers are at home, they win just enough to remain somewhat relevant in the betting market, and Tarik Skubal is the favorite to win the AL CY Young. We’re getting the best pitcher in the American League at home at a pick em price. It’s hard to ignore the value of the home team. Give me the Tigers.
