The Tigers have won 3 straight, something of an achievement for them. They are hitting surprisingly well at the moment, climbing to 7th in the league in the last week. Their starter, lefty Tyler Alexander, has had a rough ride of late. All of his last three starts were under 5 innings and he has given up more than a run an inning, The bullpen, which has been a bright spot for the Tigers this year, has not been as solid lately.

The 3-7 Royals are struggling, but 2 of those wins came against the Tigers. The Royals' bats have fallen off lately, and the starters have struggled. Singer has been very good in his last 7 starts, however he has regressed slightly in his last 2, allowing 4 runs in each. The Royals bullpen, at the bottom of the barrel for the season, has been slightly better of late.

The Royals should get the opportunity for some runs with Alexander pitching, and Singer has not been quite as tough in his last 2 starts. The Tigers have hit the Royals hard in the first 2 games of this series. Their games lately have been consistently over, and today's total is quite low. Take the Tigers and Royals to go over today.
