Detroit Tigers: Form and Statistics

The Detroit Tigers will come into this game hoping to display another solid performance. After enduring a tough series against the Milwaukee Brewers, which saw them lose the last two series, scoring only one point.

However, the Detroit Tigers managed to snap their losing streak against the Kansas City Royals in the opener of this series, as they were the favourites in that game. This team needed a third-inning performance to take the lead, where they scored three runs before a two-run extension to their victory in the eighth inning. However, the Detroit Tigers have lost four of their last five matches, showing how many struggles they have endured in recent weeks. Ahead of this game, the Detroit Tigers have secured a sweeping win over the Chicago White Sox this season while defeating the New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins.

Kansas City Royals: Form and Statistics

The Kansas City Royals have been disappointing this season and it is difficult to see them step up their game after a number of poor plays in their last 13 matches. In their first series of the season, this team lost to the Baltimore Orioles but then stepped up to win a sweeping game against the Minnesota Twins. In the meantime, this team have struggled so much in recent times, losing seven of their last nine matches. In fact, this team has lost their last four matches, suffering a sweeping defeat to the New York Yankees.

Ahead of this game, the Kansas City Royals scored only one run in their opener, coming in the eight innings. Ahead of this game, the last series win was against the Minnesota Twins in a four-game series where they won.

Detroit Tigers vs Kansas City Royals Match Prediction 18 April 2025

The two teams are not playing so well right now and I feel the two teams will give this game their all in what will be an open one. At home, the Detroit Tigers are the favourites for me in this game and this is because Ragans will be the pitcher, as he has allowed six earned runs in 23.2 innings and leads the league with 34 strikeouts this season. However, the Kansas City Royals have lost four straight matches, and I have totally lost faith in them as they do not look ready to win here. Yet, I believe this will be a competitive game and while the Kansas City Royals offence is not threatening, I do not see them winning here.

Our match prediction is handicap W1(+1.5) with odds at 1.67 on 1Xbet.
