The Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers face off in Game 1 of the best-of-five American League Division Series on Saturday, Oct. 4 at T-Mobile Park .
While the Mariners won their first AL West title since 2001 and earned a bye to the ALDS, the Tigers had to fight through the wild card series after blowing a huge lead in the AL Central to lose out on the division crown.
"Playoff baseball has a sense of urgency that you can only get in October," said Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, who led the Astros to a World Series title in 2017.
