Tigers vs Mariners
Bonus Play Detroit Tigers
I'm backing the Tigers on Monday night. Hisashi Iwakuma is 12-7 with a 3.99 ERA and has been effective against most teams, but Detroit is not one of them. The Tigers scored five runs with 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings earlier this season against him and last year Iwakuma gave up seven runs and 14 hits in 12 innings against Detroit. Six players on the Tigers roster have at least a .375 batting average against the right-hander. Michael Fulmer continues his terrific rookie season and the Tigers have won his last seven starts, including a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday when he allowed just one run and five hits in 6 2/3 innings. Fulmer faced the Mariners once this season and gave up a run and three hits in 4 1/3 innings. Detroit lost to the Mets yesterday but the Tigers still have won 10 of their last 12 games and are just two games behind first-place Cleveland in AL Central. I'm backing the Tigers on Monday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
