Matthew Boyd has been excellent this season and sports a Detroit-themed 3.13 ERA. What standouts most about his hot start is a 31.8 percent strikeout rate which ranks seventh in all of baseball. His advanced start are pretty impressive as Boyd has just 86.4 exit velocity (Royals don’t have much power in line-up so keeping ball in park should be an issue). With .257 xwoBA and xBA having in mind 31.8% strikeout rate Tigers pitcher should not have any trouble tonight.
Only issue for Boyd so far this season been his curveball with .318 xBA, 91.2 exit velocity and .460 xSLG. Good news for Boys is that Royals ranked 28th in baseball hitting against curveball.
On the mound for the Royals will be Jorge Lopez. he start to 2019 has been eerily similar to his 2018 numbers, with very close ERAs (5.03 vs. 5.08), WHIPs (1.47 vs. 1.43), and BABIPs (.303 vs. .303). Though he is striking out almost two more batters per nine innings, he is surrendering more homers as well, bumping his FIP up almost a whole run to 5.23.
The righty has given up exactly four earned runs in four of his six starts this season. Tigs don’t have powerful offense but hit righties pretty well with .325 twOBA, .409 xwOBA.
Tigers have an edge in pitching matchup and got much better bullpen so this combination should provide easy win for Tigs.
