Claim Your Welcome Bonus!Another great series for Kansas
Although they can not be called other than one of the main outsiders of the current MLB season, Royals occasionally produce great games, and sometimes even series. Such was the case before their clash with Detroit. The team from Kansas City outplayed a very tough Cleveland – 4-3, 1-13, 5-1. Kansas City is in last place in the AL Central Division standings with a 32-52 balance, and 14th in the all-conference summary table. Only Oakland is lower than the Royals.
Brad Keller, 4-9 with a 4.37 ERA in 16 meetings this season, is Kansas' starting pitcher for the upcoming game. And Keller has three wins in his last four games.
Detroit on road trip
Like Kansas, Detroit recently beat Cleveland on the road. Oh, and how they did, beating the Guardians in all four games of their home series, 4-1, 5-3, 11-4, 8-2. The Tigers went on the road and had a good series in Chicago against the White Sox – 2-1, 7-5, 0-8, 2-4. Kansas City is the next stop for A.J. Hinch's team on the tour. They can't lose such a winning streak, as the Royals beat the Tigers in the last faceoff in Detroit.
Michael Pineda will pitch for Detroit in the upcoming game, going 2-3 and with a 3.62 ERA in 7 starts this season.
Head-to-head encounters
The score in the season series is 3-3.
Expert Betting Tips
Detroit has gained strong momentum lately, although at the same time the Tigers remain one of the weakest attacks this season. So it's quite possible that against pitcher Keller, who has also looked great in his previous meetings, the Tigers will experience problems. Kansas probably shouldn't expect to score too many runs either, because Detroit's defense tends to be pretty good.
