Parker Meadows leading off Tuesday for Tigers

Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows will start in center field and bat leadoff in Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Zack Greinke and the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Meadows will lead things off after not hitting higher than sixth in any of his previous MLB starts. Matt Vierling will bat second for Detroit. Akil Baddoo is absent from the lineup for a second consecutive game.

Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Tigers' implied total is 4.17 and the game total is 7.5. Greinke is 1-15 this season with a paltry 16.1% strikeout rate, second-worst among Tuesday's projected starters.
