The Detroit Tigers are in a tussle with the Seattle Mariners and match two of the series is scheduled for Wednesday. The Mariners won Tuesday's engagement in comfortable fashion.
This is a battle of the American League, between Central and Western division teams. On one side, we have the Tigers, placed at the bottom, with a terrible 50-79 record. Things are looking more comfortable in the west as the Mariners enjoy sitting second. Their impressive 71-58 record for the season keeps them away from the other teams. The Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners have cemented their place in the playoffs.
In all of the AL, the Tigers have the worst away record at 21-43. This is not good enough for their fanbasee. Their only saving grace right now is that they are 5-5 in their last ten games. Meanwhile, the Mariners are 6-4 from their last ten, which is decent. The series between Detroit and Seattle looks like a one-sided affair.
When Detroit hosted Seattle on Tuesday, you could hear the disappointment in the atmosphere. The result of the game displayed what fans felt as the Tigers succumbed to an easy defeat. 3-9 was the final score in favor of the Mariners. As the city prepares to host another encounter, the Tigers are expected to show more grit and determination.
