The Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners will meet for the first game of the series on August 13, 2024, at 6:40 pm ET, in Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan. The series consists of three games, with the first game potentially determining who will contend for the title. The Tigers weigh in heavier than their competitor, with a 51% chance. That leaves a marginally lower scope for Seattle, a team that can turn the table anytime.
Cal Raleigh could represent the Mariners, while Colt Keith could represent the Tigers. The total prediction comes to 7, with the Tigers clinching 4 scores and the Mariners securing what remains on the board. A reason why Detroit is leading as everyone’s favorite is the fact that they have converted half of their games in their favor. They are currently 23-23 in the ongoing season.
On the other hand, Seattle has only achieved a victory in 44.7% of its games. They continue to be underdogs, with a moneyline of -108, and there is a possibility that they could be even worse off.

The Tigers rely on Matt Vierling, who has 20 doubles, 14 home runs, 5 triples, and 22 walks at a .255 hit. Keith follows Matt with .251 and 11 doubles as well as 11 home runs, three triples, and 28 walks. Gio Urshela and Javier Baez, with their respective records on the track, could serve as backbones.
Randy Arozarena will join the line-up of the Mariners with 24 doubles, 56 walks, 16 home runs, and .223 batting. Justin Turner and Julio Rodriguez are leading the side with a competitive batting average and overall record.
The Tigers’ most recent encounter with the Giants resulted in a 2-1. The only baseball event they won was the series final, with an overall tally of 4-5. The San Francisco Giants were able to hold their ground in the first two matches but eventually took a back seat in the final event.
The Mariners had a comfortable win in the last series against the Mets. To their credit, the only score they allowed New York to take home was a single in the final event. However, that did not go so smoothly for the Mets. Their opponent defeated them by a total score of 12, which they used to boost their confidence.
The Seattle Mariners have a run line of -1.5 against +1.5 of the Detroit Tigers. Detroit is the favorite to win the event. The series is a different story, and the second game may see changes if the Tigers actually win the contest.
