Detroit has played 6-1-1 to the underdog in their previous 8 games. Kansas City played 4-1 to the under during its last 5 games. These teams have faced each other 7 times already this season and 6 of those went under the total.
The Tigers Jose Urena has made 4 road starts this season with a stellar 2.45 ERA, and all 4 games went under. The Tigers righthander averaged 6.4 innings pitched per start in those 4 away outings. The maligned Tigers bullpen has found its groove recently while recording a cumulative 2.11 ERA and 1.08 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. Detroit will be facing a southpaw in Mike Minor today. They’ve played 10-2 to the under this season when facing a lefthanded starting pitcher.

Mike Minor has pitched much better than his ERA indicates over his last 3 starts. During that stretch, Minor recorded an excellent 0.92 WHIP. The Royals bullpen has combined to compile an excellent 0.78 ERA in their last 7 games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.
