The Royals are dependent on Bobby Witt Jr. for scoring duties. He has done well with an OPS of 0.735, 80 RBIs and 20 home runs this season.
The team has to count on Brady Singer for the pitching duties. He has played well, with an ERA of 2.99 and 144Ks at a WHIP of 1.13.
The Tigers have been playing poorly this season. They are very inconsistent with the results due to the non-performance of the main players. Most batters have an OPS below 0.700.
Javier Baez, who leads the batting charts for the team, averages 0.239 with 60 RBIs, an OPS of 0.671 and 15 home runs this season. Scoring and pitching have been major problems for the team, and the results do reflect that.
