The Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers will clash in a American League Divisional Series with a lot on the line. The Tigers defeated the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 in the ALWCS to advance in a thrilling series. Now, Tarik Skubal will get a chance to face Cal Raleigh and the Mariners' offense. Regardless of who wins, the series should have a lot of fireworks on display.
Skubal shut the Guardians down in a dominant outing to kick off his 2025 playoff run. Raleigh, on the other hand, helped his team earn a first round bye with a dominant finish to the regular season. While the other ALDS matchup will be between AL East rivals, Detroit and Seattle are much more unfamiliar with each other. The result should be a series full of surprises on both sides.
