The Seattle Mariners will host the Detroit Tigers at T-Mobile Park on Saturday to kick off their best-of-five American League Divisional Series.
The Tigers are +188 road underdogs against the Seattle Mariners, who clinched the AL West title after finishing with 90-72 record.
Current Form:
The Mariners defeated the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers for the rights to represent the AL West in the postseason this year. Bannered by their MVP contender Cal Raleigh, Seattle posted the 9th highest run tally this season at 766 while boasting a .244/.320/.420 slash at the plate.

The Tigers leaned on their postseason experience to beat the Cleveland Guardians in a three-game wild card series. Detroit’s offense came alive in the deciding game as Dillon Dingler blasted a homer and Wencel Perez drove in two-runs in the 7th to sparks the Tigers’ pivotal 5-0 run in the sixth and seventh innings.
Starting Pitchers Matchup:
Tigers RHP Troy Melton (3-1 with a 3.05 ERA last four starts) vs. Mariners Georger RHP George Kirby (3-2, 5.40 ERA in his last five starts).

Our Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Seattle Mariners are 4-2 against the Tigers in six meetings this season, sweeping the last four encounters. Seattle also finished their last 20 regular-season games with a 16-4 record. They are also 11-3 in their last 14 games at T-Mobile, making them a formidable opponent for anyone on their home field.
The Tigers almost missed the postseason after going 5-14 SU in its last 19 games. Detroit recovered by conquering their division rivals, the Guardians, in the wild card series, but what awaits them is the hottest team in baseball in September – the Mariners.
The Tigers might be trying to play a bullpen game by starting relief pitcher Melton, who surrendered 14 runs over 45.2 innings this season. Holding 0-4 record in their last four games against the Mariners, the Tigers might be exploring a different strategy to end their skid against Seattle, though it comes with a high risk of a blowout loss.
Prediction: Tigers 3, Mariners 8
Our betting prediction for the Detroit Tigers vs. Seattle Mariners: the Mariners will cover -1.5 Runs.
