Detroit at Kansas City

The Detroit Tigers have bested the Royals in the first two games in this series, but the role reverses from favorite in the first two to the dog in this one, a role which has left them at 11-15 on the season playing on the road. The Royals are a cut above teams from their recent past, hovering around the .500 mark midway through the season at home. The Tigers have had their miseries on the road with an account-draining 20-45 mark in their last 65 vs. a right-hander, and an even worse 23-50 to a total set at 9-10.5 on the road. The Royals take care of business with motivation to stop the sweep. Take Kansas City.
