Predictions
Michael Wacha will get the start for Kansas City. With an 8-6 record and a 3.58 ERA, he’s been mostly reliable this season. Despite a shaky start against the Diamondbacks, Wacha has been solid in two of his last three outings, going 2-0 with just two earned runs in 14 innings. Detroit has yet to announce their starter for the game, which might tip the scales slightly in favor of KC. Expect a bounce-back performance from the Royals, taking advantage of Detroit’s pitching uncertainty. Our pick: Kansas City Royals -159.
