ROGERS' 10* AL CENTRAL GAME OF THE WEEK!
(MLB) Detroit vs. Kansas City,
Money Line: -105.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
Two of the League's lesser light meet up on Monday. The Tigers are 4 games above .500 in May but they struggle on the road. The Royals have a horrible home record and are very poor vs right-handers (12-26) this season. They face a very tough righty in Lorenzen who has been very sharp lately, with just two runs allowed over twenty innings pitched in his last three starts. He'll face another right-hander in an underachieving Brady Singer. He has been better in his last two starts but has also been hit extremely hard at times this season, hence the bloated 7.09 ERA. Neither team is hitting well, but the Tigers are at least over .200 vs right lately. KC is hitting a startling .181 in the same time frame. Both bullpens have been at least average lately, although the Royals especially haven't been getting many innings out or their starters. I favor the Tigers on Monday. Lorenzen has been very dependable; Singer has the talent but has been wildly inconsistent this season. Take the Tigers, a slight underdog, to win on the road.
