Even in back-to-back losses, the Tigers have averaged 5 runs in those games. Kansas City is averaging nearly 6 runs per game in their last four at home. Despite a pitching matchup that features two men with ERA’s under 1.00, these two lineups should be able to produce runs. Detroit has hit the over in 7 of their last 9 and we think it will happen again with a low total listed.
