This is the first game of a Monday doubleheader and it starts early with Michael Pineda facing Brad Keller.
Both pitchers will be made better by going against weak offenses.
Keller proved that 11 days ago when he held the Tigers scoreless in six innings during a 3-1 home victory. The righthander allowed just five hits to the Tigers. Detroit is last in the majors in homers, 29th in runs and OPS and 27th in batting.
Pineda has a respectable 3.62 ERA. He's backed by a surprising effective Detroit relief corps that went into the weekend with the third-lowest bullpen ERA. Pineda is 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA in day games. Kansas City ranks 26th in runs and 24th in homers and OPS.
The Royals are likely to be missing speedy leadoff batter Whit Merrifield, who left Sunday's game with a toe injury.
These two teams have a strong Under history with the low side cashing 69 percent of the time during the last 34 meetings at 25-8-1, including the last four played in Kansas City.
