Why The Tigers Will Cover The Spread/Win
Detroit has some work to do in this game. Castillo is a good pitcher, but he does have a tendency to give up a few barrels. The Tigers have to take advantage of this and hit the mistakes. The Tigers do not have the best offense, but they also do not chase many pitches out of the zone. As long as they stay patient at the plate, and hit their pitches in the zone, the Tigers should be able to put up a few runs.
Montero is not having the best season. However, the Mariners are not a good offensive team. Seattle is towards the bottom of the MLB in batting average, slugging percentage, whiff percentage, and zone contact percentage. Montero should be able to shut down the Mariners offense and at least keep the Tigers in the game.
Why The Mariners Will Cover The Spread/Win
Luis Castillo is coming off one of his best months. He had a 1.99 ERA in July while making five starts. Castillo had two scoreless outings, and he did not allow more than three runs in any of his starts. He should be able to continue that in this game. The Tigers have hit just over .200 since the All-Star break, and they are bottom-5 in the MLB in batting average, as well. Castillo should have no problem shutting down the Tigers in this game.
The Mariners have a good matchup on offense. Montero is allowing opponents to hit almost .280 off him this season, and he has allowed 11 home runs in his eight games pitched. The Mariners have a chance to do some real damage on offense in this game, despite their season-long struggles. Expect Seattle to make a lot of solid contact of Montero and push a few runs across. As long as they do this, they will win the game.
Final Tigers-Mariners Prediction & Pick
This is a game between two teams who are not great offensively. For that reason, I would not be shocked to see the under be in play for this game. As for the winner, I like Luis Castillo to be victorious. He is the better pitcher, and he is much better at home than on the road. I will take the Mariners to win this game.
