Game One PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Ian Kennedy (6-7, 3.97 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Justin Verlander (8-6, 4.07)
Kennedy is 0-3 with a 4.94 ERA in four starts against the Tigers. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in his last four starts, though the Royals have failed to win in his last two starts.
Detroit’s Mike Pelfrey (starting Saturday) has allowed just two runs in his last two starts with just over 12 innings pitched. He’s been roughed up by the current Royals lineup, allowing 27 hits on 86 at bats with a single home run.
Danny Duffy of the Royals has now pitched at least eight frames in each of his last two starts, making Saturday’s total of 9 even more unattractive.
