The Detroit Tigers begin a big three-game series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday night.

It’s awfully tedious to get wrapped up in the outcome of individual baseball games in April, but this weeks Detroit Tigers vs. Kansas City Royals slate carries a feeling of importance.

Neither team will be able to stake their claim on the division with a decisive win — it’s still a very long season and the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox will also want to have their say — but the eventual victor will hope to set the tone for the season.

The Royals, winners of the last two American League pennants, hope to prove their dominance is lasting. The Tigers, once the supreme division power, hope to reclaim the crown that was once theirs by right.

Both the Tigers and Royals have started the season off on the right foot, both teams having lost just four games so far. But while their records may be similar (7-4 and 8-4 respectively), these two teams aren’t built the same.

For the Tigers it’s been about thunderous bats and an offense that has generated 5.3 runs per game (second most in the AL). The Royals’ success has come in preventing the opposition from scoring runs. The stingy Kansas City Defense has allowed just 2.9 runs per game thus far.

Which style will win out this week?

63. Final. . 7.
