"8:15 PM EST. Edinson Volquez is a groundball pitcher that relies heavily on the Royals defense to help him get outs. His stock is high after his last start where the Dominican native gave up just two hits in seven scoreless innings versus the Indians. Volquez has had some trouble with the Tigers in his career. He's 2-4 with a 5.24 ERA in eight starts and some of the big Tiger bats have enjoy success against him including Ian Kinsler (8 for 20) and Miguel Cabrera (5 for 11). The Royals are rolling with six wins in their last seven games so their stock is at a season high, which makes us sellers."
"Matt Boyd's last start was a frustrating one. We like what we've seen so far from the Washington native but he helped the Tigers blow a seven run lead his last time out and it still stings. Boyd came over from the Blue Jays in the David Price trade. He is just 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in four starts. He's got the ability to strike guys out with 20 K’s in 25.2 innings but he also has to cut down on the walks. Boyd has 18 K’s over his last 21 innings. He’s a finesse lefty with good stuff that has excelled at every level he’s pitched at so far. That said, this one is more about fading Volquez against the red-hot bats of the Tigers. After taking the opener of this series, 9-4, the Tigers lost last night 10-3 but they still managed 10 hits."
