DETROIT TIGERS

The Detroit Tigers are not going to make the playoffs but they sure have hit form. They are 5-0 in their current 6 game home stand, outscoring the Kansas Royals 21-4 in the first 2 games of this series. Their home record stands at 43-24 and they need this game to complete a sweep. Motivation, no problem.

Galarraga will be the pitcher for Detroit this evening, and his home form has been excellent this season. In 10 home starts he has a 3.34ERA and 1.143WHIP. In his last match, he allowed just 3 hits through 7 innings, giving up no runs. He had 8 strike outs and 0 walks. His record against the Royals is 2-0 this season, with a 2.78ERA in 6 career games against the Kansas side. As a starter, he has a 1.97ERA against them. That's enough to give me confidence.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS

O'Sullivan pitches for the visitors in a bid to avoid the sweep, but this guy is better suited to relief appearances with the bullpen. As a starter, his record reads 1-4 with a 6.09ERA. In his last 3 starts, he is 0-3 with a 6.89ERA and 1.707WHIP. He's going to get owned.

BETTING VERDICT

Detroit are hot and the Royals pitcher is not. Take the Tigers.

The Pick :

Detroit to complete the sweep!
