Detroit Tigers vs Kansas City Royals Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Dan Angell | in MLB Picks
The Detroit Tigers (78-73 SU, 82-69 ATS) continue their series with the Kansas City Royals (82-69 SU, 85-66 ATS), now fully back in the playoff race. The Tigers are now just 1.5 games back of Minnesota for the final playoff spot, and four games behind the Royals for fifth place. And that changes the feel to this series, because Kansas City has every reason to feel a bit nervous.
Granted, the Royals still have the fact that they’re ahead of Minnesota to add some comfort, but Kansas City’s status as a young team that wasn’t supposed to be here in the first place adds to the pressure. A younger team can break down the stretch as it tries to hold on to a playoff position. If Kansas City isn’t able to string a couple wins together, it’s going to make for a nervy final 10 games for the Royals.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The return of Casey Mize could be better for the Tigers than it has been, as Mize still seems to be working out some of the kinks. Mize has long been a mix of hot and cold, with injury issues regularly popping up. This has been his second-best season in terms of injuries, as this will be his 20th start of the year.
The Tigers’ bullpen has done a good job of picking up the slack when needed, lifting Detroit to wins in two of his three starts since his return to the rotation. The Royals, on the other hand, keep finding ways to lose these tight games. The Royals’ past three losses have all come by a single run, and they managed to give away a 5-1 lead last time out. With Cole Ragans having been on the shaky side, our prediction for Detroit vs. Kansas City is for the Tigers to win.
