Mariners vs. Tigers Betting Prediction
The Tigers have been good against the Mariners of late. Detroit is 7-3 straight up in their last 10 games against Seattle. Additionally, the Tigers are 4-1 straight up in their previous 5 games against the Mariners. Detroit may have Seattle’s number.
In addition to that, the Tigers have been above average on the run line this year. Detroit is 15-10 ATS as a home underdog and 54-45 ATS when playing on no rest this season. What’s more, the Tigers are 43-36 ATS in non-division games and 61-50 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest in 2024. For all of those reasons, I’m taking the Tigers at home +1.5 on the run line at -130 odds on Thursday afternoon.
