At 7:40pm ET, my #1 AL Central GOM is on Kansas City. Who do you think is currently leading the major leagues in strikeouts? If you wait until later this evening, the answer is likely going to be Cole Ragans! Certainly, the Royals starter will be #1 in the American League. Entering today's action, Sale has 219, Cease has 215, Skubal has 214 and Ragans has 211. Nobody else has hit the 200 mark. None of the other 3 pitch tonight but Ragans will face the Tigers. He's recorded 26 strikeouts his last 3 starts versus the Tigers, 12 in the game at KC. Ragans is more than just strikeouts. He wins. Ragans is 2-0 with a 1.54 ERA in 2 starts versus Detroit this year. The Royals are 9-4 in his last 13 home starts. Casey Mize is nowhere close. He is 2-6 on the season and he has a 5.05 road ERA and 1.61 WHIP with a .308 batting average against him. After blowing yesterday's lead, the Royals won't mess around tonight. Play on Kansas City.
