Whenever Justin Verlander starts, the public takes notice. They have decided by 72% that this is the right choice. The fact is Verlander is a strong pitcher, but his career record on the road is just 69-59. The Tigers are also 6-6 in his last 12 road starts, and the Tigers' pen is more than capable of handing over the lead, and is the weakness of this team. Prince Fielder is in a massive slump, striking out nine times in the last two games. Iwaguma has been great at home, and so have the Mariners when he takes the ball here as they are 8-1 in his last nine home starts. This line is too big with Verlander on the hill. Go with Seattle.
