Detroit -1
On the road, Detroit is batting .274 and scoring 5.7 runs/game. At home, Seattle is batting .258 and scoring 4.5 runs/game. Over the past seven games, Detroit is batting .277 and scoring 5.3 runs/game, while the Mariners are batting .207 and scoring 3.0 runs/game. Against right-handed pitchers, Detroit is batting a healthy .289 and scoring 5.7 runs/game.
From a pitching perspective, the Tigers hold a significant edge as well. Let's analyze the numbers:
Detroit's bullpen has compiled a 3.72 ERA on the road, while Seattle's bullpen has an ERA of 5.46 at home. Over the last seven games, Detroit's bullpen has been solid, posting a 3.32 ERA and a low WHIP. The Mariner's bullpen has posted a 5.66 ERA over the same time period. At night, the numbers also favor Detroit's bullpen.
Bonderman has been solid all season: 2.88 road ERA and a 1.89 ERA over his last three starts (averaging 6+ innings per start). Meanwhile, Pineiro has been terrible: 6.40 ERA at home (a pitcher's ballpark) and a 8.40 ERA over his last three starts. Moreover, Pineiro has been averaging less than 6 innings per start which means we are certain to see a lot of Seattle's bullpen (at least 3+ innings). Once again, advantage Detroit.
