The Detroit Tigers (66-93) and Seattle Mariners (87-72) play the second game of a 4-game set Tuesday at T-Mobile Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Tigers vs. Mariners Game 1 odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Mariners lead 3-1
Tigers SS Javier Báez hit a 2-run HR in a 4-3 win at the Mariners Monday. Detroit starter RHP Bryan Garcia allowed 3 ER on 5 H with 6 K through 6 2/3 IP in the win.
Detroit has won 9 of its last 10 games.
Monday’s loss guaranteed that the Mariners will start the playoffs on the road this year. Seattle will open a best-of-3 AL wild-card series at Toronto or Cleveland Friday after securing its first postseason berth since 2001. Mariners LF Sam Haggerty injured his left groin in Monday’s loss after sliding into 2nd base in the 9th inning.

Tigers at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 4, Tigers 2
Moneyline
PASS.
The Mariners (-175) moneyline should hit, but there is better value on the run line.
Run line/Against the spread
BET MARINERS -1.5 (+122).
The Mariners should bounce back and win by margin after a disheartening loss vs. a Tigers team that has been overperforming as of late. Seattle has not lost 2 consecutive games vs. Detroit since June 8, 2021, when the Tigers closed as a -136 favorite at home.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 7.5 (-140).
The under is 5-1-2 in Detroit’s last 8 games and 4-2-1 in Seattle’s last 7 games. Don’t expect Detroit’s offense to plate a lot of runs after an unlikely win as a +228 underdog Monday.
