MLB Odds
Detroit -120, Seattle EVEN
Total: O 6.5 runs (-125), U 6.5 runs (+105)
I'm backing the Tigers at home tonight. Detroit just took two out of three from the Mariners out in Seattle last week and tonight they return with Tarik Skubal (13-4, 2.57) on the bump.
Skubal is arguably the best pitcher in baseball, or at least in the conversation, and he's lights out at Comerica Park, compiling a record of 7-1 with a 2.41 ERA covering 11 starts. The Tiger offense has not been great this season, but anytime you can get a premium pitcher on the mound, in his home ballpark, for a price like this you have to take a serious look.
Seattle is playing for a lot right now. The Mariners find themselves a half game back of Houston in the AL West, but tonight does not look like the night they will even themselves with the Astros atop the division.
