Mariners at Tigers picks and predictions
Prediction
Tigers 4, Mariners 2
Money line
Detroit almost got it done Wednesday before their bullpen imploded. I like them to salvage a game Thursday. E-Rod has been solid the last 2 starts, and if he can clean up the walks, this should have a pretty good shot at cashing. Seattle is just 14-18 against lefties. Take the TIGERS (+133).

Run line/Against the spread
Since we're taking the underdog today, I really like the price on the RL. Detroit had 5 wins in 7 games before Seattle came to town and have enough to avoid a sweep. Gilbert has allowed at least 2 ER in 7 straight starts, and he had a rough August, which means fatigue could be setting in. Take the TIGERS +1.5 (-135).
Over/Under
The number curiously dipped after almost cashing at 8.5 Wednesday and going Over Tuesday. The Over is 2-5 for Seattle over its last 7 contests. Detroit has just scored 3 runs each game this series. I look for them to add another and keep it tight defensively. LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-120).
