Kansas City at Detroit

Danny Duffy is 9-1, but the one team that he has struggled with this season is Detroit, which has roughed him up to the tune of 10 runs and 12 hits in 13 1/3 innings. Kansas City has lost 38 of its last 56 road games and is last in the major leagues in both OPS and runs scored in away games. Meanwhile, Justin Verlander has not allowed more than two runs his last eight starts and is coming off a Tigers loss at Seattle when he didn't factor in the decision after giving up just one run in seven innings. Detroit has won nine of its last 12 home games against left-handed starters and the Tigers are 33-22 overall at Comerica Park. Also, Detroit has won seven of Verlander's last nine home starts. Detroit is 10th in the majors with a .764 OPS against lefties and ninth with a .790 OPS at home. Take the Tigers.
