Mariners vs Tigers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Tigers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Tigers have looked great in their games this season with their 59-35 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central with the best record in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 32-15 home record. Meanwhile, the Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 48-45 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 23-24 road record this season. The Tigers have been rolling lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Mariners are 5-5 and just got swept by the Yankees in their last series. The Tigers also have one of the best pitching staffs in the MLB and will have the better pitching matchup in this one. Mize is on the mound for the Tigers in this one and he has looked great this year. He is 9-2 with a 2.63 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs and the team has won 4 games in a row now with him starting too. The Mariners are going with Kirby in this one and he hasn't looked bad this season, but he hasn't been great either. He is 3-4 with a 4.22 ERA and the team has won 2 games in a row with him starting, giving up no runs in his last start too, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and this Tigers offense has been one of the best in the MLB this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Tigers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“[Woo] had great stuff tonight. His stuff was better than we’ve seen all season long. It was an outstanding effort for him today.” - Dan Wilson after his team’s loss against the Yankees in their game on Thursday.
“Because he’s playing somewhere different every day, you can get lost a little bit. What does he bring to the table? Everything. And I’m proud of him for how he’s methodically gone through this -- in and out of the lineup, and then in the lineup a lot -- and maintained his discipline at the plate. He’s taking care of himself. He’s opportunistic on the bases. Contribute[s] to a win every day, and he’s going to get the recognition that he deserves. I do know that I get asked about him a lot from the other side, which is the biggest praise you can get internally, inside the game.” - A.J. Hinch after his team’s loss against the Rays in their game on Wednesday.
