Prediction: Detroit Tigers VS Kansas City Royals 2025-06-01
The Kansas City Royals, with their mediocre 30-28 record, are somehow favored over the Detroit Tigers, who are rocking a 38-20 record. I mean, what's going on here? Did the oddsmakers forget that the Tigers have a powerful offense, with 295 runs scored this season, while the Royals are struggling to hit, with a league-low 34 home runs?
Anyway, let's get to the good stuff. The Royals have a strong pitching staff, with a 3.22 ERA, but they'll be facing a Tigers team that's on a roll, seeking their sixth consecutive victory. Tarik Skubal (5-2, 2.49 ERA) will start for Detroit, while Michael Wacha (3-4, 3.21 ERA) will pitch for the Royals.
Maikel Garcia is looking to extend his 14-game hitting streak, but I'm not sure if that's enough to give the Royals the edge they need. The Tigers' offense is just too strong, with Riley Greene, Dillon Dingler, and Spencer Torkelson contributing key hits.
My best bet for this game is the Detroit Tigers +1.5, with a price of around 1.59. I just can't see the Royals taking down the Tigers, especially with their struggles at the plate. The Tigers' offense will likely overpower the Royals' pitching, and I'm confident that they'll cover the spread.
So, if you want to make some money, bet on the Tigers +1.5. Trust me, you won't regret it. And if you do, well, don't come crying to me. The Tigers are the better team, and they're going to prove it on Sunday.
