Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Dan Angell | in MLB Picks
The Kansas City Royals (61-49 SU, 62-48 ATS) face the Detroit Tigers (52-58 SU, 55-55 ATS) in a series that might be the final nail in the Tigers’ coffin for 2024. Detroit entered this 12-game stretch of nothing but AL Central opponents knowing that it needed a big performance to give itself any realistic chance of competing for a playoff spot.
Instead, the Tigers appear to have hit the skids at the worst possible time. Detroit took its fourth straight loss on Thursday to Kansas City, which meant even more ground lost to both Cleveland and Kansas City. The Tigers now sit 15 games back of the Guardians and nine back of the Royals, which means it’s probably time for Detroit to begin thinking about playing for 2025.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Even though Tarik Skubal goes to the mound for the Tigers, that doesn’t automatically mean the under is in play. First, when the total is this low, it’s very difficult for the under to cash. Second, the Royals are swinging hot bats right now and should come in confident after beating Skubal the last time they saw him.
Finally, Cole Ragans isn’t exactly pitching his best at the moment. He’s allowed three or more runs in three of his past five starts, and the Tigers haven’t had too many problems hitting him the last two times they’ve seen him. They didn’t hit well against Seth Lugo on Thursday, but they never hit well against him. Ragans is a different story, and the Tigers should be ready for a bounce-back. Our prediction for Kansas City vs. Detroit is Over 7.5 Runs.
