Mariners at Tigers picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 4, Tigers 2
Moneyline
BET MARINERS (-108).
The Mariners have been on fire over the last week, winning 4 straight games and outscoring their opponents 26-4 in those. Seattle also beat the Philadelphia Phillies in 2 of 3 from Aug. 2-4.
The Tigers have been awful at home of late. They have lost 6 of their last 7 home games, with 5 of those losses coming by 4 or more runs. Detroit has struggled throughout the entire season at home.
Take MARINERS (-108).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
Given how close the moneyline is, there’s no good value on the spread. The Mariners are too risky while the Tigers, as a run-line underdog, are too expensive. Avoid a play here.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 7 (+100).
The Tigers are 2-4 O/U in their last 6 games, scoring 4 or fewer in 4 of those. Detroit has allowed 4 or fewer in all 6, so it has defended well recently.
The Mariners have a similar story and are 2-5 O/U in their last 7, having allowed 1 or 0 in 3 straight games. Seattle has scored more than 4 in just 2 of its last 7.
Considering those trends for both sides, take UNDER 7 (+100).
