The Tigers have beaten the Mariners five straight times and eight of the last 10. They've got Tarik Skubal pitching today against Luis Castillo. Both teams have won two games, but the Mariners have lost four games due to scoring 2.5 runs a game. Skubal lost to the Dodgers 5-4, allowing four runs in five innings. I think Skubal will have an easier time against the light-hitting Mariners. Skubal is 3-0 in three starts against the Mariners. Tigers win.

The Detroit Tigers after an 0-3 start to the season against the LA Dodgers, have quickly gained two wins in their current series over the Seattle Mariners. They’ve produced thirteen runs in the two victories, and I expect the momentum to continue even in an early start. A problem for Seattle when Luis Castillo is on the mound is providing run support, as was showcased with zero runs in his first start against the As. Grab the Tigers for the road sweep.

Not too soon, perhaps, to sound alarm bells in Seattle, as the offense has looked even worse than last season in this slow 2-4 start at T-Mobile Park. The Tigers are also bossing this series, winning handily the past two nights. Now Seattle must face reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, who had the misfortune of facing the Dodgers in the opener but beat the Mariners in both starts last season. Meanwhile the popgun Mariners have been held to one or two runs across their four losses in the past five games. The pressure is on Luis Castillo to keep Detroit in check and hope Seattle's hitters can eventually do something vs. AJ Hinch's bullpen. Play Tigers on Money Line.
