Bryan Woo is their starting pitcher on Thursday while Luis Castillo is making his start in this game on Friday. He is 5-5 with a 3.31 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HR, and 0 BB with 8 SO on 2 hits through 7 IP against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Tigers are entering this series off a loss and won their 3-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 59-35 record overall and have a home record of 32-15. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Friday and they have Thursday off as a day of rest. Their offense ranks 6th in the MLB with a .750 OPS. Reese Olson was their starting pitcher on Wednesday while Tarik Skubal is making his start in this game on Friday. He is 10-2 with a 2.02 ERA this season. His team won their last 6 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 0 walks with 10 strikeouts on 3 hits through 7 innings pitched against the Cleveland Guardians.

The current betting odds have the Tigers listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Tigers have looked great in their games this season with their 59-35 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central with the best record in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 32-15 home record. Meanwhile, the Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 48-44 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 23-23 road record this season. The Mariners are going to have Woo on the mound here and he has looked good this season. He is 5-5 with a 3.31 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs and even the team has won 3 games in a row now with him starting, but the Mariners cooled off a bit in their last series against the Yankees and the Tigers have the offense to match them. The Tigers are also going with their ace in this one and he has been one of the best starters in the MLB this season. Skubal is on the mound and he is 10-2 with a 2.02 ERA. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs and the team has had a ton of success with him starting, winning 6 games in a row now with him on the mound. Both of these starters have been great lately, but Skubal gives the edge to the Tigers at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Tigers to win this game and on the runline.

“He has been so steady for us at a position that is a demanding one for sure. J.P. has been so solid defensively, and what he has done offensively -- he has been on base all season long. He has swung the bat well. He is a big part of the word 'traffic' that we use a lot. He is at the center of it. He has had a great season for us.” - Dan Wilson after his team’s loss against the Yankees in their game on Wednesday.

“Because he’s playing somewhere different every day, you can get lost a little bit. What does he bring to the table? Everything. And I’m proud of him for how he’s methodically gone through this -- in and out of the lineup, and then in the lineup a lot -- and maintained his discipline at the plate. He’s taking care of himself. He’s opportunistic on the bases. Contribute[s] to a win every day, and he’s going to get the recognition that he deserves. I do know that I get asked about him a lot from the other side, which is the biggest praise you can get internally, inside the game.” - A.J. Hinch after his team’s loss against the Rays in their game on Wednesday.
