   I haven't made a play on this game and will probably end up passing on the game. I actually have a LEAN to the Tigers here, but doubtful I pull the trigger on them for anything more than a small personal play. Here is some info on this game for anyone to use as they see fit. Have a great Wednesday & rest of the week everyone.

<Seattle coming off season high 15 hit performance last night.>

<Tigers on 2 game slide and they hit RH pitching just (.238), 18 pts less than vs LH>

<Mariners stater Felix Hernandez is coming off a 126 pitch performance over Cleveland his last start, tossing 8 shut out  innings, with 12 K's and only 1 BB>

<Felix is 6-0, 7 starts, 2.26 ERA, 1.03 WHIP vs the Tigers since the 2008 season. Felix is also 3-0, 4 starts, 2.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, at Comerica Park since 2008>

<Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera has owned Felix over his career (9-18, 2 2B & 3 BB). However, the other 8 starters in the lineup are a combined (.179) 15-84 vs Felix>

<Detroit starter Adam Wilk has not made it past 5 Innings in both of his starts filling in for Doug Fister, his last start at home vs Texas they got 10 hits and 3 runs off him (2 ER)>

<Wilk has shown great command of the strike zone in the minor leagues, as he had a outstanding slightly better than, 5-1 K/BB ratio in 18 starts at AAA Toledo last season. In his 2 MLB starts this season, he has just 2 BB and 6 K's.>

<Seattle ranks 11th in the American League vs LH pitching (.222), & that is 20 pts less than what they hit vs RH. & VERY little exposure vs him too as Smoak, Ichiro & Ryan all faced him 1 time in relief L/year. Smaok did take him deep >

<Both teams rank middle of the pack in hitting w/RISP too, both in mid .240's (A.L. avg is .260)>

<Bullpens have been even so far this season, both ranking middle of the road early on.>
