The Detroit Tigers will play the Kansas City Royals in Game 3 of their series at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Detroit Tigers are 36-51 this season and have lost four games in a row. Detroit lost both games of the doubleheader on Monday by scores of 3-1 and 7-3. The Detroit pitching staff has a 4.03 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and a .242 opponent batting average this season. The Tigers offense has scored 274 runs with a .229 batting average and a .287 on base percentage. Javier Baez is batting .211 with nine home runs and 34 RBI’s for the Tigers this season. The projected starter for Detroit is Beau Brieske, who is 2-6 with a 4.16 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over 75.2 innings pitched this season.

The Kansas City Royals are 34-52 this season and have won three games in a row. Prior to winning both games in the double header on Monday, Kansas City won two out of the three games played in their series against Cleveland. The Kansas City pitching staff has a 4.88 ERA, a 1.48 WHIP, and a .266 opponent batting average. The Royals offense has scored 338 runs with a .243 batting average and a .309 on base percentage this year. Bobby Witt is batting .252 with 12 home runs and 45 RBI’s for the Royals this season. The projected starter for Kansas City is Kris Bubic, who is 1-6 with a 6.84 ERA and a 1.87 WHIP over 48.2 innings pitched this season.

Detroit is 6-4 in their last 10 games and 4-11 in their last 15 Tuesday games. The over is 5-1-1 in Detroit’s last 7 game three’s of a series. Kansas City is 1-6 in their last 7 Tuesday games and 10-23 in their last 33 games against a right-handed starter. The over is 5-2 in Kansas City’s last 7 Tuesday games. The under is 5-1 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings in Kansas City.

Detroit had shown some signs of turning things around last week, but a four game losing streak has them spiraling back to the basement of baseball. Detroit continues to have issues scoring runs, but will face Kris Bubic in this game. Bubic has a 6.84 ERA and has allowed nine runs in his last 14.2 innings. For the Tigers, Beau Brieske has is coming off of a great performance against the White Sox where he allowed 0 runs and two hits over 6.1 innings. I like the Tigers to bounce back in this game after their disappointing Monday.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
