The Tigers have some good, young pitchers. Reese Olson is one of them. Ignore the 0-4 record. It's highly misleading. Detroit doesn't score for him. Instead look at Olson's 2.09 ERA, that's tied for the seventh-lowest in the league.

Olson has permitted only five earned runs in his last six starts spanning 37 1/3 innings. He has a 2.41 career ERA vs the Royals in three starts.

Olson pitched against Kansas City on April 26. He held the Royals to one run in seven innings.

Veteran Michael Wacha gets the start for Kansas City. He's a savvy 12-year veteran, who is vulnerable to giving up homers. However, the Tigers have a below average offense especially when it comes to power ranking 26th in homers. Wacha has a 3.43 lifetime ERA against the Tigers in five appearances, including four starts.
