The Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers will face off in Game One of a four-game series today at Comerica Park in Detroit, MI. Fans can follow the action on FS1 once the game gets underway at 6:40 pm EST.

Kansas City is six games into a 10-game road trip, and it's safe to say that things haven't been going well. They lost two of three against the Indians in Cleveland last weekend and were swept in a three-game series vs. the Yankees in New York. As for the Tigers, they are returning home from a six-game road trip that had its ups and downs. They won two of three games against Minnesota, but then dropped two of three against Milwaukee, scoring just one run in the last two games (both losses).

Detroit is giving Reese Olson the ball to start the game. The young right-hander has gone 1-1 in three appearances with a 6.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP. He lasted 4 1/3 innings in his last outing, giving up six hits and allowing four runs while striking out and walking three. Kansas City will trot out Michael Lorenzen. Also a right-hander, he's gone 1-2 in three appearances with a 3.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

Both pitchers have been hit and scored on in their previous starts, but in the past, they have fared well against each other. Both teams have been struggling at the plate, hitting under .200 for the last week. It's hard to say which team will win, and it would be surprising if either team scores much.

Our Royals-Tigers Pick: UNDER 8
