Mariners/Tigers UNDER 6.5

The Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (13-3, 1.95 ERA) has gone 16 straight starts of seven innings or more and has allowed only two earned runs or fewer each of those times.  That trend we would imagine is going to continue with Hernandez allowing a single run the last time he faced Detroit in 2013.  He is 9-2 when starting against Detroit with an ERA of 2.51 and a WHIP of 1.140.  His team is 3-1 so far this season against the Tigers.

Newly acquired Tigers LH David Price (11-8, 3.21) has yet to taste a winning start as a member of the Tigers club.  He's allowed 7 runs over a span of nearly 15 innings spread across a pair of no-decisions.  He faced Seattle twice earlier in the season and allowed four total runs in those games.

Half of the last ten meetings between these two teams has resulted in an UNDER using the current 6.5 total.   

The UNDER is actually 40-18-2 in the Mariners last 60 games though you wouldn’t know it by looking at their last 10 where they have scored 6 or more runs in half of those.

The UNDER is 7-1 in Mariners last 8 games as a favorite of -110 to -150.

The Mariners are 10-1 in Hernandez's last 11 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150.  The UNDER is 14-2-1 in Hernandez's last 17 road starts with the total set at 6.5 or lower.
The UNDER is 8-1 in Tigers last 9 games with the total set at 6.5 or lower.
