The Kansas City Royals have hit a bump in the road. They were swept in New York in their last series, and lost the opener here in Detroit. The Royals' offense has been horrible as they have scored just 59 total runs in their first 20 games, or just 2.9 per game. The pitching has done its part as opponents are averaging fewer than four runs a game. Detroit is going to go as far as its pitching can take it. The Tigers have allowed 68 runs so far, or about 3.4 a game. Both these teams have gotten solid pitching all season. The Royals' last 12 games have seen 10 of them fail to get to the total. I like the UNDER.
