The 20-19 Seattle Mariners will go for a 3-game series sweep of the 17-24 Detroit Tigers this afternoon at Comerica Park. Seattle won the first two by a combined score of 14-2. The Mariners are also 6-0 in their last 6 road games and 5-1 in their last 6 in the Motor City. Today’s expected starter for Detroit is lefty Joey Wentz. He is 1-3 with a 6.08 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP which doesn’t bode well for Detroit, with Seattle at 5-1 in their last 6 against a left-handed starter. Seattle is expected to have Logan Gilbert tap the rubber. Gilbert is 1-2 with a respectable ERA of 3.79, a WHIP of only 0.99, and over his last 2 turns he has allowed just 4 runs on 6 hits.
