Result:
LOSS

Kansas City is out of any pennant race, while the Tigers are trying to hold onto first place ahead of Cleveland. Detroit is great at home and has a powerful offense, No. 8 in runs, No. 6 in on-base percentage and No. 7 in slugging. All those numbers are even more impressive when you realize they play in a big park like Comerica. They will score off KC starter Danny Duffy (3-8, 5.55 ERA), who has been hittable and has control problems, walking 45 in 94 innings, which is common with young pitchers. Kansas City has fallen to last place in the division while riding a 7-16 run. This is also a brutal situational spot for the Royals, playing their 10th straight road game. They have looked out of gas the last two games, scoring 5 runs total (both losses). The Royals are 1-10 in Duffy's last 11 starts vs. a team with a winning record while the Tigers are 40-14 in their last 54 games as a favorite of -151 to -200. Play the Tigers.
