The Detroit Tigers put their five-game win streak on the line in Saturday’s Game 2 against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
The Tigers have bolstered their position atop the AL Central after winning five games in a row. Detroit now holds a 6-game lead on the 31-25 Minnesota Twins and can increase their advantage even more if they can win Game 2 against their division rivals, the Royals.
The Royals are 2-3 in their last 5 games and have lost 3 of their last 4 games. Kansas City is allowing 4.70 ERA over their last 5 assignments, which is significantly higher than their season average of 3.22 ERA. They are also scoring 3.2 runs per game in this 5-game stretch.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Why you should bet on the Tigers to cover -1.5 runs: Bookmakers understand that the Tigers are oozing with confidence coming into Game 2 with the Royals. Detroit will also unleash their best pitcher in Tarik Skubal, who has led his teams to a win in his last 5 starts. Skubal, who sports a 2.00 ERA over his last 5 mound appearances, is eager to get back at the Royals who scored two runs off of him on April 20. Royals starter Michael Wacha has won his last 3 starts vs. the Tigers but he surrendered 4 earned runs in his last start vs. the Twins on May 24. Detroit is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games against Kansas City and 3-1 against the spread against their AL Central rivals.
Our betting prediction for the Detroit Tigers vs. Kansas City Royals: Tigers will cover -1.5 runs
