Royals ML, -122 at FanDuel
The Tigers are back to another bullpen game. Brenan Hanifee will open things for Detroit tonight before the remaining bullpen arms work into the contest. Hanifee should get things off to a solid start, entering this matchup with a 0.00 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. The 27-year-old has only allowed five hits in 6.2 innings. He threw 33 pitches on Tuesday, but hasn’t pitched since. Tyler Holton (4.15 ERA, 1.67 WHIP) is the least likely pitcher to appear because he’s pitched in back-to-back games. That likely leaves some combination of Ricky Vanasco (22.50 ERA), Enmanuel De Jesus (7.17 ERA), Kenley Jansen (5.40 ERA), Drew Anderson (4.79 ERA), Burch Smith (3.09 ERA), Brant Hurter (1.77 ERA), and Kyle Finnegan (1.53 ERA) to pitch for Detroit.
The Tigers do have an offensive advantage when considering season-long trends, but that edge is slight. They’re averaging 4.23 runs per game (20th in MLB) to Kansas City’s 4.15 (22nd). That edge is unlikely to be enough for Detroit to come away with the win, considering the pitching arms they’re likely going to be reliant on. The final score is unlikely to reach the stratosphere (I almost picked the UNDER), but the gap between these two clubs’ run production is small enough that being able to rely on a traditional pitching approach is likely to be the difference for Kansas City.
The Royals’ starter, Noah Cameron, is likely to give up at least a few hits, though. He’s allowed at least four in all six starts, and he’s surrendered three or more runs in four of his six starts. However, Detroit hasn’t put up more than four runs in a game during its active losing streak. The Tigers have averaged 2.2 runs per game over their last five, compared to four per outing for the Royals. Plus, Kansas City has won two of the three matchups that Cameron has started when they’re favored or the odds are even, according to our MLB betting database.

Tigers vs Royals Prop Pick Today
Bobby Witt Jr. 2+ Bases, -135 at FanDuel
It’s unlikely that Witt hits another inside-the-park homer tonight after scoring one yesterday, but I like the infielder to record at least two bases all the same. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder has at least two bases in three consecutive games and in five of his last six games. Witt should be able to find two bases worth of production against Detroit’s bullpen.
Tigers vs Royals Betting Trends
- The Tigers have lost five in a row, including two games to the Royals.
- The Royals have won two of the three games in which they were favored or the odds were even when Noah Cameron starts.
- Bobby Witt Jr. has two or more bases in five of his last six games.
