Coming into this game the Tigers have lost three games in a row and although they almost made the comeback in the last game, they ended up one run short. In the last game against the Twins is Miguel Cabrera who hit two home runs. In this game the Tigers are probably going to need to give their pitcher some run support.
The Kansas City Royals have had their struggles this season but they have to have some confidence after what they were able to do in the last game against the St. Louis Cardinals. On Wednesday. It was the Royals offense that ran up the score and that led to an easy victory. Even though there has been some struggles, Salvador Perez has had a big season and on Thursday he drove in five runs.

The Royals have the confidence with their bats and they are going to run up the score in this game against Fulmer who has struggled. Look for the Royals to win this game on the run line. -2.5 is also worth a few dollars just based on value.
