          Tigers vs Royals Prediction<\/h2>\n

          The Tigers are 7-3 in their last 10 head-to-head meetings against the Royals, and are 2-1 their last 3 visits in Kansas City.<\/p>\n

          In this Tigers vs Royals Prediction, the Royals are coming as home favorites. The Tigers got swept by the A\u2019s with their last defeat being a shutout, and are up against a Royals team that plays good baseball and have Lugo on the mound, who has been better at home, with a 3.28 ERA. He might be struggling lately, but he goes up against Paddack, who has been terrible on the road, with a 5.67 road ERA. I like the Royals to keep rolling at home in this spot, so take them on the moneyline to get the job done.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
