Believe this ends something like 3-2 in either direction in a pitcher-friendly whatever they call that park in Seattle now. I pondered M's starter George Kirby at +137 to personally win but a lot of starters aren't even going 5 innings these days in the playoffs. And I kinda think the Tigers got their mojo back this week, although I'm definitely biased rooting for them via friends and family. Seattle really isn't the type of team to blow opponents out, so yeah I do think this is a one-run game -- Seattle played in a whopping 53 of them during the RS. At +1.5, I don't have to care if it ends up another one-run affair, and I'll check in during Miami-Florida State.
