Detroit at Kansas City

Whenever a top pitcher takes to the mound the oddsmakers know he will attract a lot of interest as players like to migrate into a comfort zone, backing someone that has a winning pedigree. Justin Verlander certainly qualifies as just that. His 15-5 record backed by a 2.24 ERA makes him a Cy Young candidate. He is however running into a hot and confident Kansas City Royal team that is playing their best baseball of the season at 10-6 over their last 16, which makes these odds on the Tigers on the road, way to high. The Royals are striking for over five runs a game during the 16 game stretch, which includes an 8-5 mark vs. winning teams. The Royals are now 5-1 after a loss and I'm riding the big dog here. My play is on Kansas City.
