The Detroit Tigers bats have come alive. Go with the Tigers for three-game home sweep of Seattle. Detroit's right-hander Jeremy Bonderman (2-4, 4.76), has been struggling, 0-3 with a 6.26 ERA in five starts at home, but should get the support this afternoon when he faces the Mariners, who own the American League worst record and have dropped nine of their last ten road games. Bonderman is 4-3 with a 5.01 ERA in eight career starts against Seattle. The Mariners are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Motown and Seattle's veteran right-hander Miguel Batista (3-5, 6.11 ERA) is 1-3 with a 4.54 ERA in nine career appearances, including five starts versus the Tigers, 0-2 with a 6.28 ERA at Comerica Park.
