Guy Boston Sports prefers Kansas City on the moneyline and would sprinkle their team total over at Comerica. Michael Wacha has rattled off five straight six-inning, two-run outings and relies on a fastball-changeup-cutter mix that Detroit is not hitting (the Tigers’ damage comes almost exclusively off sinkers and sliders, pitches Wacha uses only 20 % of the time). Chris Paddack, meanwhile, is coming off an eight-earned meltdown and carries ugly history versus this KC lineup. Statcast gives Comerica a +9 % run-scoring environment Saturday, further boosting the Royals’ offense. With Detroit riding an 8-2 run, the market is giving plus money on the steadier starter; the tout is happy to grab it.

Kenny G said he is "very seriously considering" taking Kansas City at +105 in Detroit and labeled the Royals a potential dog-of-the-day. His case rests on Michael Wacha’s current heater: Kansas City is 5-0 in Wacha’s last five starts, and the right-hander has yet to allow more than two earned runs in that stretch. Wacha also dominated Detroit on May 31, twirling seven one-hit innings with six strikeouts in a 1-0 win, and posted another solid outing against them back in April. Kenny trusts a Royals bullpen that owns a 3.63 ERA and has been "solid all year," while expressing far less faith in the Tigers relief corps that spent most of the season in a "long valley of being just terrible." On the other side, Chris Paddock brings a 4-11 record and 5.10 ERA and was “absolutely shelled” by Minnesota in his last start, giving Kenny confidence Kansas City’s offense—showing recent life despite ranking 29th in runs and 23rd in OBP—can scratch out enough support. He acknowledged Detroit’s strengths (42-24 at home, 8th in runs, 9th in slugging) but still prefers the plus-money price with a better starter and bullpen edge. The recommendation is to grab Royals +105 on the moneyline.
