Detroit / Kansas City Over 9.5
The Over is 5-1 in Tigers last 6 vs. a team with a losing record and Over is 5-1 in Miners last 6 starts vs. a team with a losing record, while the Over is 10-4 in Royals last 14 games following a win and 7-1 in Royals last 8 during game 1 of a series. Zach Miner is making his first start for the Tigers this year and in his career as a starter he is just 7-7 with a 5.06. This year he has made 32 appearances from the pen and is 3-3 with a 4.23 ERA, plus he has a 19.31 ERA in 2 career starts vs the Royals. Luke Kochevar has been really struggling of late, posting a 7.41 ERA in his last 3 starts and a 5.59 ERA is his last 10 starts. The Detroit offense has come alive lately, hitting .288 and scoring 5.9 rpg in their last 10 games, with those 10 games averaging 10.9 rpg. Detroit also puts up 5.5 rpg and hits .287 at night. The Royals offense has also be good of late as they are averaging 5.7 rpg and hitting .270 over their last 10 games, plus they have put up 5.4 rpg in their last 18 at home. KC's home games this year have averaged just 8.8 rpg overall, but in their last 18 at home that number jumps to 10.6 rpg, while their last 35 games overall have averaged 10.1 rpg. The key here is the resurgent offenses of both squads and i see both teams easily being able to score 5 runs or more in this one, especially with the pitching that is on the mound. Should be an easy over in this one.
