Staying alive might be a chore for the Tigers in Game 4 as their offense is scoring only 3 runs pg in this series. We saw the Detroit propensity for low-scoring games in Games 1 & 2 if not in Tuesday's Game 3. Detroit's offense remains of the swing-and-miss variety and the Tigers so that 3 runs pg in this series is no surprise. Casey Mize, however, was generally up to the task on the mound down the stretch, not allowing more than three runs in any of his starts since the beginning of September. A bigger concern on the mound is Seattle's Bryce Miller, though if not sharper than his September work (5.61 ERA), the Mariners bullpen gets plenty of work. Play Mariners-Tigers Under

All hands on deck for the Tigers behind Casey Mize in their first elimination game, and I'm assuming that means Tarik Skubal for few innings if need be. No reason to save him for Game 5 if there isn't one. With terrific Bryan Woo not on the ALDS roster due to injury, it appears to be the clear weak starting pitching link on Seattle in Bryce Miller (4-6, 5.68 ERA). None of his season numbers were very good but especially in day starts: 7.58 ERA in four of them. Miller also has zero playoff experience. Come on Tigers, give my super-fan Mom a Game 5 ... and ideally not having used Skubal. Detroit hasn't won at home since Sept. 6, so it is due.

We have the wind blowing out to right field at 13 mph, 55° at the start time of 3:00 p.m. Eastern. By 4:00 p.m., the winds are expected to be closer to 15 mph, also blowing out to right field. We have a matchup between Bryce Miller pitching for the Mariners and Casey Mize for the Tigers, but the main factor for me in this wager is the wind. Mize only pitched three innings, allowing one hit and one run in his last start. Manager AJ Hinch was nervous about him pitching, had no confidence in him, and they've lost four straight behind him. The Mariners had a hit fest in their July sweep in Detroit; they like playing at Detroit.
