Detroit vs Seattle Stats

Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers started their 2025 season with a tough three-game road series against the reigning World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite putting up a decent offensive showing with a .238/.328/.400 triple-slash, the Tigers were unable to secure a win as they were swept by the Dodgers, with a total score of 20-12. Spencer Torkelson stood out with four hits, a home run, and five walks in the series. However, the Tigers' bullpen struggled with an 8.10 ERA in 10 innings of work. Looking ahead, Jackson Jobe is set to take the mound in Seattle on Monday night, with limited MLB experience but a promising performance in Spring Training. Currently, the Tigers hold a power ranking of 5, ranking 14th in offense with an average of 4.00 runs per game, 27th in defense allowing an average of 6.67 runs against them, and starting the season with a record of 0-3.

Seattle Mariners Analysis

The Seattle Mariners hosted the Athletics for the closing game of a four-game series, following a 4-2 victory in the opener. However, the Mariners suffered consecutive losses in the next two games, with their offense struggling to produce hits. Their bullpen has also been underperforming, with lackluster stats through the first three games of the season. Pitcher Emerson Hancock is set to face the Tigers for the first time in his career on Monday. Despite a power ranking of 2, the Mariners rank 27th in offense, averaging only 2.00 runs per game. In contrast, they rank 19th in defense, giving up an average of 4.33 points per game. Detroit has lost their last three matchups against Seattle.

Tigers Favored to Win Against Mariners in Pitching Battle

The outcome of this game is uncertain as both teams have shown areas of inexperience and struggles in their pitching staffs so far this season. Despite this, I am predicting the Tigers to come out on top against the Mariners due to my lack of faith in the strength of the Mariners' lineup. The Tigers have previously demonstrated their ability to perform well against formidable opponents such as the Dodgers. I expect the Tigers to capitalize on Emerson Hancock's lackluster performance in 2024. Additionally, the Tigers have a strong record against the Mariners in recent years, winning eight of their last ten matchups. Therefore, the Tigers are aiming for their fourth consecutive victory over the Mariners in this upcoming game.
