The Detroit Tigers will step onto the field of Comerica Park in Game 2, looking to pile more misery on the skidding Kansas City Royals on Friday.
With an 11-8 record, the Tigers are still the top dog in the American League Central. Detroit is getting the job done, boasting a top-5 pitching staff highlighted by an excellent 3.38 ERA. Offensively, Detroit is between above-average and mediocre at best, batting .243 with 87 total runs.
The Royals have lost their last four assignments, causing them to fall four games below .500 at 8-12. Like the Tigers, the Royals’ ERA numbers are elite at 3.49 – 7th best in the MLB. However, they have been dreadful on the offensive end, batting .207 with 59 runs in the season.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Detroit are terrific at Comerica Park so far this season. The Tigers have won five of their first six games on their home field, beating the spread five times. They will start 22-year-old rookie hurler Jackson Jobe, who registered a six-inning shutout of the Twins in his last start on April 12. Royals starter Cole Ragan has thrown three straight games with one earned run each, but given that the Royals are averaging 2.2 runs per game in their five games, I am skeptical if he can lead Kansas City to a win in Game 2. Our betting prediction for the Detroit Tigers vs. Kansas City Royals: Tigers will win.
