Point Spread: -1.50 | 107.00 Kansas City (Home)
Result: Win
The Royals are extremely tough at home and the Tigers have almost become an auto fade these days.
Of course the oddsmaker knows this and that's why he's made this line so high. But to get around that it's safe to lay 1 1/2 runs with the Royals in this huge mismatch.
Detroit is 2-10 in its last 12 games with nine of those 10 defeats coming by more than one run. The Tigers' last three losses have been by a combined 32 runs!
Don't look for rookie Matt Boyd to get Detroit back on track. The overmatched Boyd is 1-5 with a 7.12 ERA. Boyd has given up six homers during his last three starts.
The Royals are going with right-hander Edison Volquez, who usually is at his best against bad teams. Kansas City is 10-2 in Volquez's last 12 starts versus under .500 opponents. The Tigers also have dropped seven of their last eight when facing a righty.
