Detroit Tigers Looking to Crash Playoffs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Detroit Tigers are doing what needs to be done to get into the playoffs. The Tigers had a productive week, going 5-1. The pennant race is heating up in Detroit and doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only 4 weeks left you can bet<\/a><\/strong> that the Tigers will be playing the best baseball of the season. They are on the prowl for easy victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the ballgame is their prey, the Kansas City Royals. With a 56-71 record, the struggling Royals are in for a potential romping by the offensively gifted Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seem MLB<\/a> has fed the hungry Tigers the KC Royals<\/a>. They have taken the season series 6-2. They aim to improve those statistics. It will occur during the last meeting between these two teams of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Detroit Tigers Will Win\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Detroit proved last week that they are a competitive team under pennant race pressure. Going 5-1 over the week. They swept the Toronto Blue Jays and only dropping one against the Anaheim Angels<\/a>. The Tigers are inching their way towards divisional rivals the Chicago White Socks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the mound for the Tigers is all-star Justin Verlander<\/a> (12-7, 2.50 ERA). He has been money in the bank for the Detroit franchise. After dismantling the Blue Jays offense last week the pitching ace is setting his sights on the equally struggling Royals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the last meeting between these two teams in which Verlander pitched saw the Tigers fall 8-0. The world class starter is looking to rebound. He wants to prove to himself that he can rise to the occasion. He also wants to show his teammates his capabilities under the pressure of the pennant race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offensively Detroit is looking to Miguel Cabrera<\/a>. He has smacked an impressive thirty-two home runs and one hundred six RBIs. The offensive statistics of the Tigers far out-match that of the Royals. The Royals have a lower batting average, runs, home-runs and walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Kansas City Will Win\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You wouldn\u2019t need to consult a sportsbook<\/a><\/strong> to realize something. The Royals are a team being served on a platter for the hungry Tigers. The one thing that Kansas City has going for them is this. The last time Verlander pitched it resulted in an 8-0 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without looking at the statistic page, which is a telling story about how different these two teams are. The Royals could always play spoiler and trip up a Tiger team riding a high of confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Luis Mendoza<\/a> (7-9, 4.26ERA) on the mound he has won the last three starts at home in Kansas and has gone 6-1 at the Royals home stadium. It would seem like the Royals have no chance against a team in the pennant hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first game of this three game series could indicate the Royals’ interest in the future. It might show whether they are preparing as winners or losers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Will Win\u2026?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Detroit Tigers<\/a> completely outmatch the Kansas City Royals. It would be foolish to not think the Tigers will not take a majority of the wins in this series. Online betting sites<\/a><\/strong> predict that. They say the Tigers’ hot pitchers and hitters will get the job done in Kansas City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AL Central league is experiencing a contentious pennant race. The Tigers hope that the majority of sports betting<\/a><\/strong> sites are right. They are counting on those easy wins to come through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
