Should the Mariners root for Cleveland or Detroit in AL Wild Card Series?

I say Cleveland. They're about to come down off of that streak. Detroit can only get hotter than they've been.
 
Whichever team has worse pitching.
Do you want to potentially have to face the likely AL Cy Young in Skubal (even though the M's owned him this year)?
 
In my haste to shit post I blew the main point which was facing Skubal two times in a series.
I agree. Not high on the list of things that I would want in the way.
 
Cleveland - kid from CDA is their first baseman. Mom had a heart transplant during the season.

Cue Tom Rinaldi piano music.
 
The only way for the M’s to truly exorcise their demons is to beat Cleveland in the division series and the Yankees in the ALCS en route to a championship. It’s the script.
