Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers 9/28/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Wednesday night MLB action, the Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers will continue their series from Comerica Park. The Royals (63-91) are 25 games below .500 on the road and have their sights set on the future. Last night, Kansas City went 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base during a 4-3 road loss in ten innings.

Twenty-five year old lefty Daniel Lynch (4-11 5.06 ERA) will take the mound for the Royals in this matchup. Control has been an issue for Lynch, who has walked 49 batters and given up 19 home runs across 121 frames.

The Detroit Tigers are riding a four-game winning streak and are trying to climb out of the AL Central Division basement. On Tuesday, 3B Harold Castro tied the game in the eighth inning with an RBI single and walked it off for Detroit two innings later on a base knock that scored Ryan Kreidler. OF Riley Greene added a pair of hits and drove in a run for the Tigers (63-91).

The Tigers will counter with twenty-four year old righty Matt Manning (2-3 3.43 ERA) on Wednesday. Last time out, Manning was tagged for five runs (3 ER) in five plus innings during an 8-1 road loss against Baltimore. 

Detroit RP Joe Jimenez has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right lumbar spine strain. Through 154 games, Kansas City ranks 24th in OPS and 24th in runs scored. For the season, Detroit ranks 30th in OPS and 30th in runs scored. Take the over. Final Score Prediction, Detroit Tigers win 6-5.
