The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals face off on Saturday in an MLB showdown at Kauffman Stadium. In the first game of this series it was the TIgers that won 4-2.

The Tigers come into this game with a 3-4 record overall and on Thursday it was strong pitching that was the difference as Detroit won 4-2. Before that the Tigers had lost two games in a row and the pitching wasn’t great.
Detroit is averaging 3.57 runs per game while they are giving up 5.14 goals per game. Javier Baez has been the top player for the Tigers hitting a home run and driving in four RBI’s. Jonathan Schoop is also having a big season hitting a home run and driving in three RBI’s.
Getting the start for the Tigers will be Matt Manning and in his first start against the Red Sox he went six innings giving up one run.
Kansas City Royals
On the other side of this matchup is the Kansas City Royals who have gotten out to a slow start to the season and heading into Friday’s game they had lost four straight. For the most part the pitching staff has really let them down.
The Royals are averaging 3.5 runs per game while they are giving up 6.33 runs per game. As the season goes on of course they need to get more runs, but the pitching staff is going to need to find a way to get going.
Andrew Benintendi has been the top player this season hitting one home run and driving in four. On the mound for the Royals will be Kris Bubic who went 0.2 innings in the first game against Cleveland giving up three hits and five runs.

Detroit Tigers vs. Kansas City Royals MLB Prediction:
The Royals pitching staff has been bad and Bubic has been a big reason why that’s the case. The Tigers offense is going to run up the score against Bubic and the Royals and this game will get out of hand early. Back the Tigers on the money line.
