SEATTLE (Interstat) — The Seattle Mariners, holding home-field advantage by a single game in the standings, will host the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of their American League playoff series on Saturday at T-Mobile Park.

The Mariners (90-72) edged the Tigers (89-76) for the better regular-season record, setting the stage for a best-of-five series opener. Seattle won the season series 4-3, including a dominant three-game sweep at Comerica Park in July where they outscored Detroit 35-14.

Seattle enters the postseason having won six of its last 10 games, though it dropped its final regular-season series to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mariners’ pitching staff was a strength down the stretch.

Detroit arrives in Seattle after taking two of three from the Cleveland Guardians to end the season, including a 6-3 victory on Thursday. The Tigers’ bullpen, featuring Will Vest and Kyle Finnegan, was effective in that series finale.

According to Interstat, the Mariners are projected to win Game 1 with a final score of 7-4. Seattle has been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5. The over/under is set at 7 runs.

The series will shift to Detroit for Games 2 and 3 before potentially returning to Seattle for a decisive Game 4, if necessary.
