06/10/11 SEATTLE +105 vs DETROIT ROT #967
The Tigers have been playing great baseball, winning 8 of 10 while batting over .300, as a team in those 10. But offense can only carry them so long. During that stretch, their starting pitching ERA is over 5. The Mariners have also been playing good baseball and even when they were not, they swept the Tigers in a 3 game series, back in late April, @ Detroit. Even though Seattle is 5-5 in their past 10, their starting pitching ERA is only 2.99. Overall, their bullpen ERA is 1.20R less than the Tigers. Detroit starter, Brad Penny has been solid at home but he's never beaten Seattle in his career (0-3). Mariner lefty, Eric Bedard has tossed 4-straight quality starts vs Detroit and allowed 1ER in 3 of those 4. After dropping his first 2 road starts, Seattle has won Bedard's past 3 road starts and 6 of his past 7 starts overall. Better pitching gives Seattle an advantage here even with Ichiro Suzuki resting.
