Jack Flaherty starts for Detroit after a strong 4.2-inning outing in the Wild Card round, where he allowed one run with a 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. He mixed pitches well and limited hard contact. Close games have stretched the Tigers’ bullpen, so a deeper outing from Flaherty would be important to rest most of the pen’s arms before Game 4.

Seattle Mariners vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

Both teams have relied on pitching and defense through the first two games, and that pattern should continue. Gilbert’s fresh arm and Seattle’s bullpen make the difference in another close game. Detroit’s bats will remain quiet against tough right-handed pitching. Final Score Prediction: Mariners win 4–2.
