Mariners vs Tigers Probable Pitchers
Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert is second on the Seattle staff with 10 wins. However, just one of those wins has been recorded since July 1.
Gilbert will be making his 27th start of the season, which leads the AL. Among MLB pitchers, Gilbert rates in the bottom 1% in Max EV (118.0), in the bottom 2% in exit velocity (93.1) and the bottom 4% in hard hit percentage (46.5).
The key to the rest of the Mariners season and playoff push- Logan Gilbert needs to get back to what he was to solidify rotation. We need old Logan back.
2nd half stats:
6.12 ERA, 27 K, .297 OBA, .531 SLG
First half:
2.76 ERA, 104 K, .204 OBA, .360 SLG
We need this back.

Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez was reinstated on August 19 following three months on the restricted list for what he says was a family-related issue. He was working with a psychologist during his time away from baseball.
In two starts since returning to the lineup, Rodriguez is 2-0 with an 0.82 ERA. However, his WHIP of 1.45 over those two starts would suggest that level of success might not be sustainable.
Eduardo Rodriguez best friend tonight was the double-play liner — he got two of them, plus a 6-5-3, to escape three jams. He got the handshake. Strong outing again:

Due to their popgun offense that has produced an MLB-low 431 runs, the Tigers are one of the best under bets in all of baseball. Detroit is 55-39-3 on the under, delivering a return on investment of 12.20%. The total has also gone under in six of Seattle’s last eight games.
Pick: Detroit Tigers (+130)
