Seattle Mariners (1‑1, .500) @ Detroit Tigers (1‑1, .500) – 4:08 PM ET
🔥 Top Pick: Mariners ML (-137)
🔹 Logan Gilbert (SEA): 6‑6, 3.44 ERA, 173 SO — allowed 5 runs in 10.1 IP vs DET this year with 19 Ks
🔹 Jack Flaherty (DET): 8‑15, 4.64 ERA, 188 SO — Tigers went 9‑22 in his 31 starts; hasn’t pitched into the 6th since August
🔍 Series tied 1‑1 as it shifts to Comerica Park. Seattle owns MLB’s second‑best road OPS (.776) and slugging (.444) this season, while Detroit’s bullpen posted a 4.05 ERA. Gilbert’s strikeout track record against the Tigers gives the Mariners the edge.
💰 Odds: Mariners -137, Tigers +113 | Total: 7.5 (O -109 / U -111)
Toronto Blue Jays (2‑0, 1.000) @ New York Yankees (0‑2, .000) – 8:08 PM ET
✅ Best Bet: Over 8.0 (-106)
🔹 Shane Bieber (TOR): 4‑2, 3.57 ERA, 37 SO — veteran playoff arm with command that can quiet lineups when executing
🔹 Carlos Rodón (NYY): 18‑9, 3.09 ERA, 203 SO — starts in this elimination game for New York
🔍 Toronto leads the ALDS 2‑0 after lopsided home wins (10‑1, 13‑7). Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been dominant (6‑for‑9, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 1.933 OPS) and owns a .455 AVG at Yankee Stadium plus a 10‑for‑17 line with one homer and three doubles off Rodón. Both clubs excel vs lefties (Yankees .797 OPS; Jays .755 OPS), and the first two games easily cleared the total (11 and 20 combined runs).
💰 Odds: Yankees -163, Blue Jays +133 | Total: 8.0 (O -106 / U -115)
