The Kansas City Royals take on AL Central rivals the Detroit Tigers in afternoon baseball. The Royals are coming off a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. They will look to keep the momentum going by sending Seth Lugo to the mound. He is 3-1 this season with a 2.03 ERA. In his last outing, he allowed four runs on nine hits in 5.1 innings. The Tigers took two of three against the Rays but lost the last time out. They will look to get a win by sending Reece Olson to the mound.  He is 0-3 despite posting a respectable 3.80 ERA. The Detroit Tigers have been putting up 4.04 runs per game. The Kansas City Royals put up 4.68 runs a game. Lugo has been able to avoid big innings despite giving up almost a hit an inning. The Tigers haven’t hit well all season so Lugo should be able to limit the Tigers scoring opportunities. Olson has not won this season and has posted a WHIP of 1.45. The Royals have the better starter and offense in this one.
