Tigers vs Royals Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
KC Royals Win(-130)

The Detroit Tigers are skidding hard, heading into Sunday’s series finale with the Kansas City Royals looking to halt a five-game losing streak. The Tigers offense has compiled just 11 totals runs, or 2.2 runs per game, during the skid. They turn to RHP Brenan Hanifee for his fourth career start, and first since the 2024 season. The opener hasn’t allowed a run across 6 2/3 IP in his four appearances, including three innings of relief in a 10-3 loss at home against the Boston Red Sox.

For the Royals, they hand the ball to LHP Noah Cameron, who has managed a 2-0 record at Kauffman Stadium this season across 16 2/3 IP in three starts. He has done a decent job with a .277 opponent batting average while striking out 15 batters in the three outings. He has received plenty of offensive support in Kansas City, too, as the Royals have provided 24 runs of offense in the three starts. Cameron has done a good job keeping the ball in the park in the past two starts, including a quality start and win over the visiting Los Angeles Angels on April 24 in his most recent home outing. He is 1-0 with a 3.94 ERA across three starts against AL Central Division rivals, too, walking four batters with 14 strikeouts. Take the Royals to get the job done.

Royals ML (-130) at time of publishing. Playable to -140.
