Mariners set to tee off on Robertson of the Tigers
Detroit looks to extend its run of 3 straight road wins at the expense of the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
The Tigers start Nate Robertson, 1-2, 7.37 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 10-2 team loss against the Indians, when he threw 2 1/3 innings, allowing 7 runs on 8 hits.
Detroit brings a 10-7 overall mark (4-5 in the division) into this game versus a Seattle team carrying a 7-11 record.
The Tigers (10-7) opened as 110 favorites and they face a Mariners team that has won 7 of their 18 games this season. The total opened at 9.
Jim Leyland's troops went to Seattle last game and came away with a 2-1 win, a game that went under 9. Oddsmakers had them as pick in that one.
The Mariners need to cut down on the strikeouts and get some runners on base - they are whiffing 6.8 times per game. The hitters need to make some contact.
DET: N. Robertson (1-2, 7.36)
SEA: G. Meche (1-0, 6.46)
