Vegas odds for today’s Detroit Tigers @ Kansas City Royals American League opening day game are now posted on NSAwins.com and vegas linemakers have made the Kansas City Royals a -115 favorite with the game total set at 7. Today’s game should be a low scoring affair with two of baseball’s top right-handed pitchers taking the hill. The Royals will trot out last season’s American League Cy Young Award winner, Zack Greinke. Greinke was dominant last season going 16-8 overall with a league leading 2.16 ERA. The 26-year-old native of Orlando, FL gave up just 195 hits and 51 walks while striking out 242 in 229.1 innings of work. One can only wonder how good Greinke would have been had he played for a better team than the 65-97 Royals last season, who also happened to lead the AL in errors defensively with 117. The Tigers will counter KC with their own dominant ace, Justin Verlander. The 27-year-old former #2 draft pick overall out of Old Dominion tied for the AL best last season with 19 wins and finished 3rd in the AL Cy Young Award voting. The right-handed flamethrower went 19-9 overall giving up 219 hits and 63 walks while fanning a AL best 269 in an AL leading 240 innings pitched. Verlander has always performed at a top level against Kanas City. He’s 9-2 versus them with an ERA of 2.32. Greinke’s been almost as dominant against the Tigers, posting a 9-4 record with an ERA of 2.86. Today’s game is not on national television but very well could be the best game of the day with these two studs on the mound.
