Good Morning!

Last night our 8 game win streak came to an end. The hardest part to accept is that 5-3 lead our team had at the bottom of the 9th. But… That is sports betting. You will absolutely steal a game sometimes and equally you will absolutely have a game stolen from you at times.

I loved the read and we were right where we needed to be. Unfortunately the Mariners couldn’t close the deal.

Betting Breakdown:

• Moneyline:

  • Tigers -226: The Tigers have been dominant, especially at home, and with Skubal on the mound, they look like the stronger team. Their offense is also more potent than the Mariners, and their pitching has been elite, especially with Skubal’s 2.02 ERA.

  • Mariners +185: Despite a solid performance from Castillo, the Mariners have struggled on the road, and the Tigers’ pitching advantage makes them the favorites here.

• Over/Under:

  • Under 7 runs: With both teams having strong pitchers in Castillo and Skubal, and both teams not being extremely prolific offensively, this game could be low-scoring. The under is a solid choice considering both teams’ recent form.

• Run Line:

  • Tigers -1.5 +100: Given the Tigers' strong pitching and recent form, they have a good chance to cover the spread, especially against a Mariners team that's been struggling on the road.

Betting Recommendation:

• Run Line: Tigers -1.5 +100
  Given the Tigers' overall form and pitching advantage, they are likely to cover the spread in this matchup.
