MLB Odds: Tigers vs. Mariners prediction, odds and pick

If Seattle loses Game. 1, the Rays would be the No. 5 seed in the American League playoffs. However, if Seattle wins Game One, they would play the Toronto Blue Jays in a Wild Card Series. Tampa Bay has lost 10 of 14 games. If the Mariners lose, it would push them into the game against the Red Sox. They would then play against Cleveland. It's important to keep an eye on the situation. if the M’s lose and the team loses at least once in their final two games in Boston against. the Boston Red Sides, then they could fall into a tie with the Tampa Rays.

The Tigers are a better bet to cover the spread than the Mariners. If Seattle loses the game, they could fall to the No. 6 seed and play Cleveland instead of Toronto.

Julio Rodriguez is back in the lineup for today's doubleheader. The game could be a throwaway, but the Mariners could cover the spread.
