Detroit Tigers vs. Seattle Mariners: A Tale of Power vs. Precision
Prediction: Tigers Win, But It’s a Homerun Derby for the Ages

The Detroit Tigers (-117 on the moneyline) are favored to avoid looking like the Seattle Mariners’ personal batting practice. But let’s be real: this game hinges on whether Jack Flaherty can keep his fastball from becoming a personal invitation for Cal Raleigh’s bat.

Why the Tigers Should Win (But Probably Won’t):
- Detroit’s ERA (3.54) is better than your dating profile’s honesty. Their pitching staff is top-3 MLB—if Flaherty doesn’t regress into a “Wild Jack” who feeds the Mariners extra bases.
- The Tigers’ offense scores 5 runs/game, which is “meh” against a Mariners bullpen that’s been… shall we say… sporadically reliable.

Why the Mariners Will Humble Detroit:
- Cal Raleigh (38 HRs, 81 RBI) is a one-man wrecking crew. His “Over 0.5 HR” prop is +200, which is screaming “bet on this man to launch a moonshot.”
- The Mariners hit 128 HRs this season—that’s 128 chances for a walk-off. They’ll either win this or make you question the universe.

Key Player Props to Bet (or Not Regret Later):
1. Cal Raleigh Over 0.5 HRs (+200): If he doesn’t go deep, I’ll eat my hat… and my pride.
2. Julio Rodriguez Over 0.5 Runs Scored (-105): The “King” is too good to fail. He’s basically a robot with a glove and a swing.
3. Logan Gilbert Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-122): Please, just let him survive 5 innings without looking like a guy battling a swarm of bees.

The Spread & Total:
- Detroit is -1.5 runs (-140) with an Under 8.0 runs line (1.87). The Tigers’ pitching is solid, but the Mariners’ bats? They’re a hurricane in cleats. Take the Over—this game won’t be a snoozerzer.

Final Verdict:
The Tigers’ Flaherty vs. the Mariners’ Raleigh is a clash of “hope” vs. “explosive inevitability.” While Detroit’s 68.8% win rate when favored suggests they’ll win, the Mariners’ power could turn this into a fireworks show. Bet the Over on Runs and hope Flaherty doesn’t become a HR concession stand.

Prediction: Tigers 5, Mariners 4… but only because Seattle’s closer will waste a 3-run lead. Probably.
