The Seattle Mariners are -130 favorites to take the rubber match against the Detroit Tigers.
With a red-hot offense set to take on a struggling pitcher, my Tigers vs. Mariners predictions are backing the underdogs to come out on top in a relatively high-scoring affair.
Let's take a closer look at my MLB picks for Thursday, Aug. 6.
Who will win Tigers vs Mariners today: Tigers moneyline (+110)
Bryce Miller has posted a 5.48 ERA over the last month, and it’s not entirely undeserved. He owns a 5.88 xFIP, has allowed 2.11 homers per nine innings, and struck out only 12.4% of opposing batters.
He is vulnerable heading into a difficult matchup against the Detroit Tigers, who rank first in wOBA, ISO, and OPS against righties the last 30 days.
Framber Valdez has posted a solid 3.51 xFIP during that span, and will make things difficult for a cold Seattle Mariners offense to keep up.
Back Detroit to -115.
COVERS INTEL: Valdez owns a sky-high 63.6 GB% rate over the last month, topping all of today's projected starters with room to spare.
Tigers vs Mariners Over/Under pick: Over 8.0 (-105)
Miller is allowing a lot of good contact, and he can’t keep the ball on the ground. Only Kohl Drake posted a higher FB% over the past 30 days among today’s projected starters.
The Tigers are hammering baseballs, ranking Top 8 in both FB% and HR/FB% over the same time frame. If Miller can't decrease his FB%, Detroit’s power will show up.
While Valdez’s elite ground-ball rate will make it hard for Seattle to hit for power, the Mariners do rank 13th in average and 12th in wOBA vs. lefties in the last 30 days.
Play the Over to -117.
- ML/RL bets: 70-65, -9.75 units
