Texas at Kansas City

The Texas Rangers have been a pedestrian team over the last third of the season where they are just 29-25. Part of the good start was the pitching of Yu Darvish, as the Rangers went 7-1 in his first eight starts. However, they have been just 8-8 since. The numbers are even worse on the road where Texas is just 2-6 in his last eight road starts on the season. The Royals have not quit down the stretch, in fact they are playing better at 11-8 in their last 19 games. They have also carried a big bite as a dog where they are 12-7 in their last 19 games. Bruce Chen has been a huge part of the Royal's success as a dog as they are 7-1 in his last eight starts as a dog of +110 to +150. The Royals look for their ninth straight here as a home dog. Play on Kansas City.
