Seattle Mariners vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

The Seattle Mariners should be given the benefit of the doubt, considering they’re at home and have more to play for at this stage of the season. The Detroit Tigers have put themselves behind the eight-ball in terms of the playoffs, and it’s easy for guys to start checking out. With that said, Tarik Skubal is an all star pitcher and the comfortable favorite to win the AL CY Young. Skubal also went to school in Seattle, so this is a bit of a homecoming. It’s hard to turn down the plus money with Skubal in this spot. Give me the Tigers.
