The Kansas City Royals will look to close out the weekend on a positive note when they visit Comerica Park again to face the Detroit Tigers, who have had a great start to the season.

Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers: Detroit Tigers

The Tigers, leaders of the American League Central, have surprised in these first few weeks of the season, and their home performance has been key to that, as they won 7 of their first 8 games at home. The Tigers’ pitching has also been vital, with an average of 3.56 runs allowed, and they should have another similar performance here led by the 2024 Cy Young Award winner, Tarik Skubal, who has not allowed a run in his last two games (13.0 innings). Tigers Moneyline.

Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers: Under

The Royals’ main problem this season has been their offense, which averages just 3.12 runs scored per game, and considering they will face Skubal here, they will not have an easy day. However, the Royals have also done a great job on the mound, limiting their rivals to 3.76 runs per game, so they could give a somewhat unreliable home team attack some trouble.

Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

With Skubal on the mound, the Tigers have a guarantee, as he should not have many complications against a Royals team that he has dominated recently; however, Michael Wacha, the Royals’ starter, has also looked solid against the Tigers. Therefore, we expect the home team to take the win, but in a low-scoring game.
