KC is going to need the good outcome today to take this one. Would help if the bats showed up, too...

Scherzer has one good start against us and one really bad start as well. If we get bad Scherzer and good Vargas we can take this game no problem. We also need to let the Tigers make the errors they are accustomed to making instead of us being sloppy and flat like yesterday.
