Predictions
Let’s be real: Casey Mize, the Tigers’ starter, hasn’t exactly been dazzling against the Royals lately. In his last five starts, he’s posted a less-than-stellar 6.98 ERA. His struggles could be a big problem for Detroit, especially with Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City. Ragans has been a rock for the Royals this season, boasting a 3.32 ERA and 211 strikeouts—basically making hitters look silly at the plate.
