Mariners Favored Over Tigers as Bryan Woo Brings 3.44 ERA Against Slumping Detroit Offense

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 5

Seattle enters the matchup as the clear pick, with analysts citing Bryan Woo’s edge on the mound and Detroit’s weak run production.
Woo is 5-3 with a 3.44 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, and Tigers hitters are just 6-for-35 against him despite a few of his rougher outings coming on the road.
Detroit counters with Framber Valdez, who is 2-4 with a 4.39 ERA and has struggled more at home with a 5.14 ERA; the Tigers lost all five of his May starts.
The game also highlights two clubs facing near-term roster decisions: Seattle sits at 33-30 and may need offensive help, while Detroit has disappointed after high expectations and the loss of Tarik Skubal.
