The Tigers are short overall underdogs currently but may not be by first pitch in the lone matinee of Monday. So, we will jump on them at +1.5 on the runline (-150) while we can. Kansas City starting pitcher Brad Keller (1-2, 12.00) has been mostly terrible so far. Detroit's Spencer Turnbull isn't much better but was good in his season debut last time out, allowing one run over five. He has a 3.27 ERA in six career starts vs. KC. I have a feeling the Royals will rest a regular or two in this getaway game.
My model says the Royals win in over 60 percent of the simulations, so you're getting solid value with them at this number. Kansas City dominated the first three games of the series, allowing only 13 hits while outscoring Detroit 12-3 en route to three victories. The Royals have won four straight overall while the Tigers have dropped four in a row and nine of 10, scoring fewer than three runs in each of the last eight defeats. Look for the Royals to complete the four-game sweep.
