The Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers meet Friday in MLB action at Comerica Park. Here’s a Tigers vs Royals Prediction. This article will include a Tigers vs Royals Pick.
The Kansas City Royals are 43-61 on the year and play the Rockies and Twins next. The Kansas City Royals are batting .248 on the season, have a .317 OBP, and have a .399 slugging percentage. The Kansas City Royals’ pitching staff has a 4.92 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. Bobby Witt Jr. leads the Kansas City Royals with 103 hits and 39 RBI, while Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone have combined for 168 hits and 89 RBI.
Noah Cameron gets the ball for the Kansas City Royals, and he is 5-8 with a 5.27 ERA and 92 strikeouts this season. This will be Cameron’s second career game against the Detroit Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers are 49-54 on the year and play the Orioles and Athletics next. The Detroit Tigers are batting .235 on the season and have a .312 OBP and a .400 slugging percentage. The Detroit Tigers’ pitching staff has a 3.63 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. Kevin McGonigle leads the Detroit Tigers with 106 hits and 35 RBI, while Dillon Dingler and Riley Greene have combined for 201 hits and 116 RBI.
Tarik Skubal gets the ball for the Detroit Tigers, and he is 6-5 with a 2.83 ERA and 98 strikeouts this season. Skubal is 4-9 with a 4.06 ERA and 95 strikeouts in his career against the Kansas City Royals.
Despite recent wins here and there, I’ll continue to blindly fade the Royals. Way has a 1.52 WHIP through 22.1 innings, and that’s not ideal when pitching on the road. The Tigers have played their best ball at home this season, and Skubal is still one of the best arms in the sport. Skubal has allowed 14 hits and 3 runs in his last 17 innings, easily his best stretch of the season. I have to side with the Tigers behind their ace, and of course I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
