Neither of these teams seems to be able to get much going this season.

Detroit

The Tigers lost on Sunday but they have to be feeling kind of good about taking two of three from the Blue Jays over the weekend.

Led by the slugging of J.D. Martinez and the incomparable Miguel Cabrera the Tigers are one of the best offensive teams in the Majors and could be even better once Victor Martinez gets going.

The pieces are all there for a push but they need to get things going quickly.

Some momentum heading into the All-Star break would be great.

Alfredo Simon has been terrible of late – his ERA is a whopping 11.35 over his last three starts. The worst part is that includes two home starts, which is where he had been killing it this season.

On the road he has been getting hit hard all season so it is going to be tough to get behind Detroit in this one, especially given how inconsistent they have been all season.

The value is there but I don’t like this spot.

Seattle

The Mariners had high expectations coming into the season.

Needing offense they signed slugger Nelson Cruz and he has delivered but they never could have anticipated that Robinson Cano would be having his worst season as a pro, just one of the many reasons that they are last in the league in scoring.

Combine that with pitching that has been more solid than great and the Mariners are lucky to not be further behind the eight ball than they currently are.

If the Mariners are going to make any sort of push in the second half they are going to need Hisashi Iwakuma to find his form.

He made three starts before landing on the disabled list and did not look sharp.

He has not pitched in a game since April but is expected to take his turn against Detroit.

His track record is solid, especially at home, and the Ms really need him as they search for consistency.

SEA are 3-15 in their last 18 games as a favorite.

MLB Betting Prediction: Seattle -150

There is not a ton of value here but I think Seattle has to be the play.

MLB Score Prediction: Seattle 5 – Detroit 3

Simon might be fading a bit and has not been good on the road this season.

Iwakuma makes me nervous coming off the DL but if he is healthy he can be sharp.
