The Tigers have been knocking the cover off the ball, entering this one with a team batting average of over .300. While that sounds impressive, they are just 7-5. Add Justin Verlander in the rotation, and those offensive numbers say a lot about their lack of pitching. Their pen cost them in the postseason a year ago, and continues to haunt them this season. Aaron Harang was traded twice in a week, and lands in Seattle. He was better than average a year ago, posting a 3.61 ERA. Doug Fister has been poor as a road favorite of -110 to -150 where they Tigers are just 1-7 in his last eight starts. The Mariners have shined vs. the Tigers by taking six of the last seven in this series. Play on Seattle.
