The Kansas City Royals will face the Detroit Tigers in a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium. Game 1 is scheduled to be played on Friday night at 8:10 p.m. EDT. The best odds, lines, and picks for tonight's game are here.
This will be a series between the two American League Central teams who sit at the bottom of the standings and have no playoff chances.
The Royals lost their last series at home to the Cleveland Guardians, taking their overall record to 56-82. However, they won their most recent series against the Tigers on the road in August. This series will just be a means to make amends for the horrid season they have had so far.
"This is so pure." - Royals
The Tigers have lost four of their last five games, taking their record to 52-85 and 22-45 away from home. They lost their most recent series against the Los Angeles Angels and are just trying to find a viable point to finish the season on a positive note.
"Tungsten Arm O'Doyle would be proud." - tigers
The Royals will start Daniel Lynch on the mound. He has an ERA of 4.82, a 1.54 WHIP, and a 4-9 (W-L). He has lost four of his five most recent starts. In his last outing against the Tigers, he gave up four runs on five hits in five innings. He will be looking for a consolation win against the Tigers this time around.
The Tigers will start Joey Wentz on the mound. This will be his third start of the season, as this is his debut season in the major leagues. He will surely be looking to impress his bullpen coach with a good performance tonight and reassure the faith put in him by the roster.
