I look for the Detroit Tigers to avoid the 4-game sweep here at home on Thursday afternoon. Sanchez is unbeaten in six outings since his return from the disabled list in mid-May, the last five of them quality starts. He has allowed just 20 hits over 34 2/3 innings in those five starts, walking five and fanning 32. He's been even stronger against Kansas City with an 0.99 ERA in five career starts, winning three and losing 1-0 games in the other two. Sanchez has won both outings against the Royals in Detroit with one run allowed in 16 1/3 innings. No one in Kansas City's regular lineup has homered off Sanchez while he's held Perez (0 for 9), Mike Moustakas (1 for 10), Infante (3 for 18) and Eric Hosmer (3 for 16) in check. The Royals are sending Duffy 4-5 2.83 ERA to the mound who is 1-4 in his career against the Tigers, and you better believe this Tigers team will be motivated to avoid the sweep here. It speaks volumes that the Royals have won the first 3 games convincingly, yet the Tigers are laying 140 here on this game. Look for the Tigers bats to get rolling here led by Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez.
