Monday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Tigers and Mariners open up a three-game series in Seattle this week, as Detroit looks to take advantage of a struggling opponent.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Tigers –116 money line favorites over the Mariners on Monday, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 7 runs. The first pitch tonight will be thrown at 10:10PM ET.
The Tigers come into this game after splitting their weekend series with the A’s in Oakland. Detroit won the first two games but were 6-2 and 5-1 losers on Saturday and Sunday. The two games they won, however, were as underdogs.
The Mariners managed to win the final game in Kansas City on Sunday, but lost three of four to the Royals overall. In their four games, the M’s managed to score just nine runs, and were shut out 7-0 on Saturday.
MLB Free Pick: The Mariners’ victory on Sunday was just their third in their last 14 games. They’ll face a pitcher tonight in Max Scherzer who is 2-0 with a 4.76 ERA and who has posted 16 strikeouts to this point. According to latest MLB trends, the Tigers are 5-1 in Scherzer’s last six starts and are 4-0 in his last four starts against AL West teams. On the flip side, the Mariners are just 2-8 in their last 10 home games and 1-10 in their last 11 games versus a team with a losing record. Detroit shouldn’t be too road weary at this point and at –116, the price isn’t bad considering they’re playing a feeble opponent in Seattle. Take the Tigers.
