For just the second time since 2001, the Seattle Mariners (90-72, 51-30 home) are in the postseason. The AL Central champions start their quest for the franchise’s first World Series title against the Detroit Tigers (87-75, 41-40 away) in Game 1 of the ALDS on Saturday night (5:38 pm PT/8:38 pm ET) at T-Mobile Park.
On paper, the starting-pitcher matchup gives Seattle a huge edge as the M’s hand the ball to George Kirby (10-8, 4.21 ERA, 1.19 WHIP), who was electric in his only previous playoff start, while Detroit is relegated to rookie Troy Melton (3-2, 2.76 ERA, 1.01 WHIP), who was shelled for four runs on three hits in just 0.1 innings in his first postseason appearance against Cleveland on Wednesday.
Among the four LDS Game 1s on Saturday, the Mariners are the biggest favorite on the board (-190 or shorter on the moneyline).
