They take 2 of 3 from us and they can only make up one game overall that series. We're still in pretty good shape.
We take 2 of 3 and Detroit becomes a distant memory.
We sweep? Who gives a shit about Detroit at that point, start printing the playoff tickets!

Probable Pitchers
9/11 @
Yankees (Luis Gil) - Cole Ragans
9/13 @
Pirates (Luis Ortiz) - TBD (Michael Wacha?)
9/14 @ Pirates (Mitch Keller) - TBD (Brady Singer?)
9/15 @ Pirates (Jared Jones) - TBD (Michael Lorenzen?)
9/16 vs
Tigers (TBD/Casey Mize?) - TBD (Lugo?)
9/17 vs Tigers (TBD/Tarik Skubal?) - TBD (Ragans?)
In Lugo's start last week, the broadcast highlighted his far worse stats in starts on extra rest. Sounds like the Royals intend to slot Lorenzen into Lugo's normal day, however. Makes sense, to position Lugo/Ragans/Wacha for the Tigers series.
If I were you GabyKeepsMeWarm, I'd be slightly disappointed that Paul Skenes won't be on the mound for your Pittsburgh visit. Obviously though, that is fantastic news for the Royals.
