Detroit is quietly playing good baseball, with a winning record along with a 7-3 run on the road. The offense is eighth in runs scored, third in batting average and fourth in slugging. Detroit starter Mike Pelfrey (2.79 ERA) was great against the World Champs last season, with a 2.20 ERA against Kansas City in 16+ innings. The Tigers are 8-2 against a right-handed starter and face Kansas City righty Edinson Volquez. He has never had much success against Detroit, owning a 1-4 record with a 6.21 ERA in seven career starts. And the Tigers are 8-2 in their last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter. Go with Detroit in this one.
