Royals vs. Tigers Prediction for Tuesday
I like the value of the road team winning outright for my Royals vs. Tigers prediction on Tuesday.
Cole Ragans (0-3, 5.91 ERA) is on the mound for Kansas City, but don’t be fooled by his surface stats. He’s had a lot of bad luck in the early going, which includes getting taken out by a comebacker after two batters in his last start. He looked excellent before then, recording consecutive strikeouts to start the game.
Assuming Ragans is fully healthy, there is some value on the Royals as an underdog in this spot. They’ve underperformed on offense, which also comes via some bad luck, including a 0-for-32 stretch with runners in scoring position last week.
I’d back Kansas City at +100 or better.
Rays vs. White Sox Prediction Tonight
With Shane McClanahan on the bump, I like Tampa Bay’s chances of picking up a road win in my Rays vs. White Sox prediction.
Chicago ranks 20th in MLB with a wRC+ of 84 against left-handed pitchers. The White Sox are hitting below .200 against southpaws. That should set up a favorable spot to back McClanahan, who has only allowed three hits through two starts while posting a 4.15 ERA.
In addition, the White Sox will be sending lefty Noah Schultz to make his much-anticipated debut as a former first-round pick. He might have a busy night, as Tampa Bay leads MLB in contact rate (81.3%) so far this season.
Mariners vs. Padres Prediction for April 14
I’m backing a third road team due to a starting pitcher advantage in my Mariners vs. Padres prediction.
I’m expecting Seattle right-hander Bryan Woo to build on his breakout campaign in 2025, in which he finished fifth in Cy Young voting with a 2.94 ERA in 30 starts. Through three matchups in 2026, Woo has a 1.50 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 18 innings.
The Padres have been a league-average offense thus far, but their O-Swing% (31%) spells trouble against a pitcher like Woo. I like Seattle’s chances of climbing back to .500 at -125 or better.
