Mariners at Tigers picks and predictions
Prediction
Tigers 4, Mariners 2
Moneyline
PASS.
I slightly lean toward the Tigers to cover here as +135 underdogs, but their odds feel safer on the run line and I don’t like doubling down. If you’d like, you can divvy up units backing Detroit between both the ML and run line, but I advise betting on the spread and/or total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
BET TIGERS +1.5 (-120).
Detroit is the hotter team entering this matchup, being 6-4 in its last 10 while Seattle is only 5-5 in its last 10, and being 7-3 in the last 10 Seattle-Detroit matchups.
The Tigers have also been the much better spread team this year, being 64-57 ATS while the Mariners are only 51-70 ATS.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 8 (-105).
The Under has hit in 2 of Seattle’s last 3 road games and is 6-4 in Seattle’s last 10 overall. For Detroit, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 home games.
The Under has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Seattle-Detroit matchups in Detroit, being 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.
