Detroit is on a 14-11 run, winning three times as an underdog or at even money. That included a three-game sweep of Kansas City. The offense is 12th in on-base percentage and 11th in slugging. The Tigers have won four of the last five starts made by Keider Montero (3.48 ERA), who is holding batters to a .216 average. Kansas City's offense is 21st in runs scored and 19th in on-base percentage, while the relief staff is 29th in ERA (4.90). Kris Bubic got smacked around by the Tigers last month, a 10-9 loss, allowing five runs, six hits, and three walks in 4+ innings. Play Detroit.
