The Kansas City Royals will play the Detroit Tigers in Game 3 of their series at Comerica Park on Sunday afternoon.

The Kansas City Royals are 28-48 this season and have lost five of their last seven games. Kansas City won Game 1 of this series by a score of 3-1 on Friday night. The Kansas City pitching staff has a 4.92 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, and a .265 opponent batting average this season. The Royals offense has scored 289 runs with a .238 batting average and a .303 on base percentage. Bobby Witt is batting .236 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI’s for the Royals this season. The projected starter for Kansas City is Brady Singer, who is 3-3 with a 4.33 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 54 innings pitched this season.

The Detroit Tigers are 30-46 this season and have won two of their last three games. Detroit won Game 2 of this series by a score of 4-3 on Saturday afternoon. The Detroit pitching staff has a 4.07 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and a .240 opponent batting average. The Tigers offense has scored 227 runs with a .227 batting average and a .284 on base percentage this year. Javier Baez is batting .211 with seven home runs and 26 RBI’s for the Tigers this season. The projected starter for Detroit is Tarik Skubal, who is 5-6 with a 3.75 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP over 84 innings pitched this season.

Kansas City is 0-6 in their last 6 Sunday games and 1-4 in their last 5 games against the AL Central. The over is 6-1 in Kansas City’s last 7 Sunday games. Detroit is 1-5 in their last 6 game three’s of a series and 2-7 in their last 9 home games. The over is 3-0-1 in Detroit’s last 4 game three’s of a series. The under is 24-7-1 in these two teams last 32 head to head meetings.

Detroit won in thrilling fashion on Saturday afternoon by erasing a one run deficit in the ninth inning and also hitting a walk off home run. For this game, Detroit will look to get Tarik Skubal back on track. Skubal started the season very strong, but has struggled in his recent starts. For the Royals, Brady Singer has been similar to Skubal in recent starts and allowed four earned runs in his last start, which lasted 8.1 innings. I like the Tigers in this matchup, but I think the over is also worth a look.
