Detroit at Kansas City

The Detroit Tigers were supposed to be a hot contender in the AL, but their pitching has let them down and they have lost Miguel Cabrera, the team's best run producer for an extended period of time. The Royals went all the way to the World Series and appear to be poised to get there again. And trading for tonight's starter, Johnny Cueto, prior to the trade deadline should strengthen the rotation. The Tigers got to Cueto earlier this season, in his only start ever against them as he allowed 3 runs in 5.1 innings. Detroit has enough offense here to stay in touch, and after scoring 2 or less runs in their previous game, they have come back to go 6-0 in their last six. The Tigers have a strong track record here winning 10 of the last 14 played in Kansas City. Make the play on Detroit.
