Matt Manning gave up one earned run in six innings of one-hit ball against the Red Sox last Monday while Kris Bubic didn't make it out of the first inning against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing five earned runs on three hits. Also, the projected Tigers lineup has five batters with a strikeout rate above 21 percent, just two batters with Isolated Power (ISO) above .185 and zero batters with a Weighted On-Base Average (wOBA) above .340.
The Detroit bullpen has a 2.97 ERA (10th in the majors) and 1.11 WHIP while the Kansas City relievers have a 6.21 ERA (worst in MLB) and 1.59 WHIP. I'll take the Tigers +1.5 runs.
MLB Pick: Tigers +1.5
