Neither the Tigers nor the Royals are scoring much.
 
Detroit is averaging 2.7 runs in its last four games if you discount its 10-run performance two games ago. The Royals are averaging 2.6 runs during their last 10 games. They've been held to three runs or fewer in nine of those 10 games. 

The pitching matchup is Tarik Skubal versus Brady Singer. Skubal has a 4.35 ERA while Singer's ERA is 4.85. Hence this high total. But are Skubal and Singer really bad pitchers?

Skubal has a 2.12 ERA in his last three starts. He's struck out 43 during his past five starts spanning 27 innings. His ERA in day time games is 2.05. 
Singer has a strong history versus the Tigers with a 2.86 ERA in six career starts. Singer has 20 strikeouts in his past three starts and is coming off a quality start against the A's.

Marvin Hudson is slated to be the home plate umpire. The Under is 17-13 the past two years Hudson has been behind the plate for 57 percent.
This is an early start get-away game so some starters could be rested.
