The Royals offer solid value at road dogs tonight at +155. Justin Verlander has an average exit velocity allowed over 93 MPH in the last 15 days and this Royals lineup has been hitting well in June. The wOBA model suggests the Royals should be +135 instead of +155.

The Tigers had lost eight straight until finally winning Sunday at San Diego. Kansas City has been on a roll lately and is back in the AL central mix. Detroit has thrown in the towel. The starters, bullpen and hitters all have terrible body language -- they look like they don't want to be out there. The Royals have beat Justin Verlander the past two meetings, including 1-0 four weeks ago at home. The bet Tuesday is on Kansas City.
