Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m on the under here. I think this is just going to be a low-scoring battle, as Skubal’s been at his best at home this season and while Seattle had an offensive outburst against the Mets this past weekend, they’ve also been known for throwing out more than their fair share of clunkers offensively just when you think they’re turning the corner. On the other side, Detroit’s offense has been non-existent at times even when Skubal’s pitched and I think this could be another low-scoring battle. Give me the under.
