The Seattle baseball team secured a spot in the ALDS tournament because they concluded the season with a 90-72 record. This performance earned them their first AL West title since 2001 and also marked the second-best performance among AL division champions. The Detroit baseball team had aspirations to secure a tournament entry for a large portion of the season. However, their lead of 14 games in the AL Central dwindled, forcing them to participate in the Wild Card Series as the No. 6 seed. Despite this setback, the team successfully defeated the Cleveland baseball team in three games to advance further.
Detroit narrowly achieved an additional-inning victory during Game 1. They will now proceed to Game 2 with their most skilled pitcher on the mound.
The Detroit baseball team and Seattle baseball team have not previously competed against each other in the postseason, creating a unique and unfamiliar contest. The Detroit baseball team’s most recent World Series victory occurred in 1984, whereas the Seattle baseball team holds the distinction of being the only baseball team that has not yet participated in a World Series.

Game 2 storylines
Seattle Baseball team: The Seattle Baseball team utilized their premier relief pitchers during Game 1. However, their efforts were insufficient. They now face the challenge of competing against Tarik Skubal. This presents an arduous task for any team, particularly for one where batters, excluding Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez, collectively achieved a batting average of 0 for 28.
Detroit Baseball team: The Detroit baseball team secured a significant triumph in Game 1. They are now presented with the opportunity to utilize Tarik Skubal. Can they secure the initial two victories against the Seattle baseball team on their home field and subsequently return to Detroit with a favorable advantage?
Game 2 prediction
It is a challenge to oppose Skubal, whose performance during the Wild Card Series showcased his exceptional abilities, and he will be performing in a stadium that advantages pitchers. Anticipate another low-scoring game as Skubal propels Detroit to victory. — Mike Axisa
