1* free play on Detroit@Seattle to go OVER the total...
The Detroit Tigers opened a three-game set at Safeco Field with a dominant 12-5 win Monday night, and I think we could see another slugfest tonight. The Tigers were not intimidated by this apparent pitcher's park, knocking four home runs out of Safeco last night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Mariners hand the ball to Taijuan Walker (7-6, 4.34 ERA) who's looking for a sixth consecutive "W", surrendering one run or less in all but one of his last five starts. This will be his first career meeting with the Tigers, and I expect Detroit's hot bats to hit him hard. The Tigers will counter with Kyle Ryan (1-2, 4.55 ERA) who'll make his sixth start in the major leagues. He's 0-2 with a 4.71 ERA in four starts for the year.

2. The Tigers Bats - Detroit has scored a total of 44 runs over its last seven games with a .342 team batting average. J.D. Martinez has 11 homers in his last 13 games and was 3-for-5 with a home-run in last night's contest.

3. X-Factor - Detroit has seen the total go over in 10 straight on the road, and 22 of it's last 26 overall.
