Seattle Mariners at Detroit Tigers Preview & Picks

Seattle are tipped to take the series lead for the first time.

The Mariners have been in solid form on the road recently and can get after Detroit pitcher Jack Flaherty, who has started in a bunch of defeats this season.

  • Seattle Mariners are 7-1 in their last 8 road games
  • Seattle Mariners are 5-1 in the previous 6 meetings
  • Detroit starter Jack Flaherty is 8-15 as a starter this season
  • The Under has cashed in each of the first 2 games in this series

Head To Head

  • Detroit Tigers lead the all-time series 235-216-1
  • This MLB Playoffs series is tied at 1-1
  • Seattle Mariners won 3-2 when the two teams last met on October 5

Seattle Mariners Form

Seattle booked their spot in the playoffs by putting together a 90-72 record to finish top of the AL West, securing a first-round bye.

The Mariners sealed the division title during a fantastic run of form that saw them win 17 times during an 18-game spell between September 6-25

That run 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, resulting in 3-2, 5-3 and 6-1 defeats to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Mariners' losing run reached four games as they lost the playoff opener to Detroit, 3-2, but they rallied to take the second meeting, 3-2.

Detroit Tigers Form

Detroit secured their place in the postseason by compiling an 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; five of them against Cleveland.

Those losses handed the Guardians top spot by just one game, and set up a Wild Card series between the two teams.

Detroit enjoyed a winning start to that series in Cleveland as they won 2-1, and then they rallied from a 6-1 defeat in Game 2 with a series-clinching 6-3 victory.

The Tigers backed that up with a 3-2 victory in the opening game of this series with Seattle, only to surrender the series lead with a 3-2 defeat last time out.

Verdict

Seattle rallied from their Game 1 loss and we expect them to back up that Game 2 victory here.

The Mariners have picked up a bunch of wins on the road recently, and in Jack Flaherty they are facing a pitcher who has lost almost two thirds of his starts.
