Schule's MLB MERCHANT of DEATH - KC@DET
(MLB) Kansas City vs. Detroit, 05/08/2015 3:08 PM, Score: 5 - 6
Money Line: -145.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Detroit Tigers.

The two top teams in the AL Central will meet in Game 1 of a new series in Detroit tonight. They split a four game set 2-2 at Kansas City last week. The Tigers are a favorite with a favorable pitching matchup tonight, and well worth it in my opinion.

David Price will tow the slab for Detroit, and he's coming off a complete game his last time out. Price (3-1, 2.93 ERA) allowed one run on five hits over nine innings in a win at Kansas City his last time out. He'd only faced the Royals once previously over the last three seasons, and he tossed eight scoreless innings in a victory in that game.

The Royals hand the ball to Yordano Ventura, who hasn't been sharp at all in recent starts. Ventura (2-2, 4.94 ERA) allowed five runs on six hits and four walks over six innings in a loss at Cleveland his last time out.

The home team looks like a bargain at this price.

Take DET.
