The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals meet Saturday in MLB action at Kauffman Stadium. The Tigers look for a win after winning seven of their last eight games. The Royals look to build on their three-game winning streak.

The Detroit Tigers have scored 14 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last seven games. The Tigers have won six straight games when scoring four or more runs. Jonathan Schoop leads the Tigers with 107 hits and 60 RBI while Jeimer Candelario and Robbie Grossman have combined for 166 hits and 74 RBI. Casey Mize gets the ball, and he is 5-5 with a 3.44 ERA and 79 strikeouts this season. Mize is 2-1 with a 4.56 ERA and 14 strikeouts in his career against the Royals.

The Kansas City Royals have scored 16 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last six games. The Royals have won four of their last five games when scoring four or more runs. Salvador Perez leads the Royals with 103 hits and 56 RBI while Whit Merrifield and Carlos Santana have combined for 184 hits and 104 RBI. Carlos Hernandez gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA and 36 strikeouts this season. Hernandez is 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA and seven strikeouts in his career against the Tigers.

The Tigers are 5-2 in their last 7 during game 2 of a series. The Royals are 3-7 in their last 10 games as a favorite and 2-5 in their last 7 home games. The over is 10-4-1 in Tigers last 15 road games. The over is 5-2-2 in Royals last 9 Saturday games. The Tigers are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

The Tigers are one of the hotter teams of the second half and it takes more than one loss to change that. Casey Mize has been consistent this season, which includes allowing four earned runs in his last 11 innings. Carlos Hernandez is a relief pitcher, so he’s not going to go deep into games and you’re going to rely on a lot of arms for the Royals to win. Give me the Tigers.
