This is an 8* on SEATTLE

Neither Seattle nor Detroit are going to make much noise this season. But expect the Mariners to come out with a chip on their shoulder for Monday’s opener at Comerica Park. They will want to erase the memory of being swept at home by the Tigers last month as quickly as possible. Seattle is off a 14-game stretch of division games that saw them end up 9-5. They beat the Angels on Sunday, 9-5. Marco Gonzales will get the start Monday. He looked good last Tuesday, giving up just one run on two hits. It was his first start in more than a month due to a forearm strain. Even though Seattle ended up losing the game 12-6, we’d safely call it a successful return. Going back to April, Gonzales has allowed no more than two runs in four consecutive outings. That’s good. Matthew Boyd’s last start for Detroit was not good. He allowed three home runs. It was the fourth straight start he gave up at least four runs and in three of those four he allowed five. Detroit still won that last Boyd start, 10-7 over Milwaukee, so it was a much different scenario than what Gonzales experienced in his last start. This is a great price to go against the Tigers. They’ve been money line favorites only six times prior to this. Play on SEATTLE
