After suffering a sweep at the hands of the Seattle Mariners, the Detroit Tigers are back at home on Friday to kick off a weekend series with the Kansas City Royals.
Unlike the Mariners, the Royals aren’t a playoff-bound team and should be far easier to beat. That said, these two clubs won’t be phoning it in. They play six times over the next 10 days and those games will not only settle a season series that Kansas City currently leads 6-4, but it also will help determine who finishes last in the division.
