These are all big games in this series as they both have some work to do to get into the playoffs. Kansas City is 3.5 games out of the AL Wild Card race, and the Rangers are six back. Texas lost a tough one here last night, 4-3, but the Rangers have done well against right-handed pitching as they are 53-42 on the season. The Royals have struggled facing the better pitchers in the AL. Kansas City is just 9-15 against starters with an ERA of 3.70 or better. The Rangers need this game more, and I think they deliver. Make the play on Texas.
