The Kansas City Royals will play the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of their series at Comerica Park on Friday night.

The Kansas City Royals are 27-47 this season and have lost four of their last five games. Kansas City is coming off of a series loss against Texas, where they lost two out of the three games played in the series. The Kansas City pitching staff has a 4.98 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, and a .266 opponent batting average this season. The Royals offense has scored 283 runs with a .238 batting average and a .303 on base percentage. Bobby Witt is batting .243 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI’s for the Royals this season. The projected starter for Kansas City is Brad Keller, who is 2-9 with a 4.56 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP over 79 innings pitched this season.

The Detroit Tigers are 29-45 this season and have won three of their last five games. Detroit is coming off of a series split with San Francisco, where they won one game and lost one game in the series. The Detroit pitching staff has a 4.10 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and a .240 opponent batting average. The Tigers offense has scored 222 runs with a .228 batting average and a .283 on base percentage this year. Javier Baez is batting .222 with seven home runs and 25 RBI’s for the Tigers this season. The projected starter for Detroit is Michael Pineda, who is 1-2 with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP over22.1 innings pitched this season.

Both of these teams come into this game really struggling this season and are two of the worst teams in the MLB. On a positive note, Detroit has been playing better lately and their offense is starting to wake up. On a negative note, the starting pitching for Detroit has had injuries and their team ERA has jumped up. The Tigers are projected to get Michael Pineda back from the IL, which will help them immensely. I like how Detroit has played recently and am taking them in this game at home.
