Detroit - Anibal Sanchez (8-13, 4.14)
Home Record Kansas City 36-42; Detroit 47-31
Away Record Kansas City 34-41; Detroit 34-41
Bruce Chen is wildly inconsistent. Considering he will be pitching against the Tigers, there’s an excellent chance this will be one of his poor starts. The lefthander is 1-1 with a 4.74 ERA in his last 3 starts and is 5-5 with a 5.49 ERA. In 16 career appearances (14 starts) against the Tigers.
For the Tigers, Anibel Sanchez is coming off a poor start, which is a great sign for him and his team. He almost always follows up bad starts with gems. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 4.66 ERA in his last 3 starts
The Tigers have won seven of the first 11 games against the Royals thus far this seaso.
Prediction: Tigers 6, Royals 4 |
