An intriguing pitching matchup opens up the MLB schedule for Saturday, as Casey Mize and the Detroit Tigers host Michael Wacha and the Kansas City Royals. The American League Central teams find themselves at the bottom of their division, but with enough time to catch the White Sox and Guardians if they can get hot. Wacha (5-7, 3.66 ERA) goes for the Royals, who will be without Bobby Witt Jr. (back), while the Tigers counter with Mize (4-6, 2.79).\u00a0<\/p>\n
