  • Seattle Mariners are 17-5 in their last 22 games

  • Seattle starter Luis Castillo has a 2.60 ERA at home
  • The 2 starting pitchers have a combined ERA of 5.71

Head To Head

  • Detroit Tigers lead the all-time series 235-215-1
  • Detroit Tigers lead this MLB Playoffs series 1-0
  • Detroit Tigers won 3-2 when the two teams last met on October 4

Detroit Tigers Form

Detroit earned their place in the playoffs by putting together 87-75 record to finish second in the AL Central standings.

The Tigers would have won their division had it not been for a major slump in form during the second half of September that saw them lose eight straight games.

That sequence included five defeats to division rivals Cleveland, which handed the Guardians top spot by just one game.

Detroit were subsequently paired with their AL Central foes in the Wild Card round, and enjoyed a winning start to that series in Cleveland as they won 2-1.

The Tigers failed to complete a series sweep of the Guardians as they lost the second meeting 6-1, but they rallied in the winner-takes-all third meeting, winning 6-3 to advance.

Seattle Mariners Form

Seattle claimed their postseason berth by compiling a 90-72 record to secure top spot in the AL West and a first-round bye in the playoffs.

The Mariners wrapped up the division title during a tremendous run that saw them win 17 times during an 18-game spell between September 6-25

That sequence saw them go a perfect 10-0 at home as they swept St Louis in three games, the Los Angeles Angels in four and Colorado in three.

With the division title secure Seattle was able to take their foot off the gas in the final regular season series.

As a result, they were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in what was essentially a ‘dead rubber’, 3-2, 5-3 and 6-1.

Verdict

Saturday night was disappointing for Seattle, but we are backing them to issue an immediate response.

Castillo has been in great at home this season and is the ideal counter for Tigers star Skubal.
