Royals Preview

The Saturday MLB schedule will get underway with a matinee between the Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers from Comerica Park. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Royals (43-62) have dropped 35 of their first 52 road games and are trapped in the AL Central Division cellar. Last night, Kansas City batters went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and left five men on base during a 2-1 road loss against Detroit.Β 

Thirty-five year old righty Michael Wacha (5-7 3.66 ERA) is fresh off his second career All-Star Game appearance and could be highly sought after at the trade deadline. Last time out, Wacha (6 IP) allowed one run and fanned five batters during a 4-3 home victory versus San Francisco.Β 

Tigers Preview

The Detroit Tigers have won three straight games and are 5.5 games off the pace in the AL Central Division race. During Friday’s home victory, Detroit scored all of their runs in the opening frame on a Riley Greene sacrifice fly and a Hao-Yu Lee RBI single. SP Tarik Skubal (7-5) fanned 12 batters across seven-plus dominant frames to earn the win for the Tigers (50-54), who improved to 29-23 at home.Β 

The Tigers will counter with 2018 number one overall draft pick Casey Mize (4-6 2.79 ERA) on Saturday. Through 80 plus innings, Mize has limited opponents to five home runs and retired 82 batters by strikes while posting a sparkling 1.03 WHIP.
