Detroit Tigers vs. Seattle Mariners
Wednesday, August 07, 2024 – 09:40 PM ET at T-Mobile Park
Our AI Model suggests the Tigers will add a surprise win, 3.6-3.2, over the Seattle Mariners on the road. The Tigers are still +115 on Caesars Sportsbook, so the value is certainly on the underdog in this game tonight.
Tarik Skubal Is An Underdog?
The Tigers will start Tarik Skubal, who has become one of the league’s best young pitchers in the game. The left-hander has held his last 109 batters to a .119 ISO and wOBA of .278. He’s also struck out 27.5% of batters in the last 30 days and has limited walks to 5.5%.
Skubal has averaged more than 97 pitches a start and will face a Mariners lineup that has hit just a .179 ISO and has struck out 22.6% of the time against lefties over the last month.
Skubal should have a monster day.
Can Detroit’s Lefties Compete?
The Mariners will pitch George Kirby. He’s a solid right-handed pitcher who has struggled a little bit with lefties over the last month.
Over the last 30 days, Kirby has allowed 53.3% of hard contact to lefties, 26.7% of fly balls, and only 13.5% of strikeouts against lefties. Meanwhile, Detroit’s lefties have hit a .223 ISO and wOBA of .380 against righties over the last month, with only 19.5% of strikeouts.
The Pick
The Tigers have more going for them heading into tonight’s game. I’ll stick with the AI Model and grab the Tigers at +115.
