The Detroit Tigers host the Seattle Mariners in Game 3 of the 2025 ALDS this afternoon as the series shifts to Comerica Park.
The two teams split the first two games of the series in Seattle, and Detroit now has a chance to seize the momentum at home. Both games at T-Mobile Park were tight, low-scoring battles decided by identical 3–2 scores — each team relying on late-inning execution and strong bullpen work to pull out a win. The evenly matched nature of the series so far underscores just how little separates these two clubs heading into Game 3.
Seattle turns to Logan Gilbert (RHP, 6–6, 3.44 ERA), while Jack Flaherty (RHP, 8–15, 4.64 ERA) gets the start for Detroit — two right-handers who’ve taken different paths into October.
Gilbert was one of Seattle’s most reliable arms this season, posting a 3.44 ERA across 25 starts with 173 strikeouts in 131 innings. He finished strong, going 3–1 with a 2.52 ERA over his final seven outings and showing improved command down the stretch. Gilbert faced Detroit twice during the regular season, allowing three earned runs in 10.1 innings.
Flaherty’s season, by contrast, was far more uneven. He logged 31 starts with a losing 8-15 record and 4.64 ERA. Against the Mariners this season, Flaherty went five innings in a July meeting, giving up two runs on four hits.
Flaherty also pitched in the Wild Card Series, starting Detroit’s decisive Game 3 win over Cleveland. He delivered 4.2 innings of one-run ball with four strikeouts before being lifted after a two-out walk — a short but effective performance that helped the Tigers advance.
Prediction
Gilbert enters with steadier form and stronger momentum, but Flaherty’s recent postseason poise could give Detroit a fighting chance if he can limit early damage. Expect another close one, but the edge goes to Seattle with a stronger starter on the mound.
Prediction: Mariners 4, Tigers 3
