The Texas Rangers will kick off their series against the skidding Kansas City Royals on Tuesday at Globe Life Field, aiming to extend their win streak to five games.

The Rangers have caught fire as of late, winning their last four games after that 2-6 loss to the Twins. After dismantling Minnesota in the series finale 16-3, Texas demonstrated pitching in the next series, holding the Chicago White Sox to one run in two of three games in the series and six runs in total. The Rangers are pitching a 2.93 ERA while posting 5.4 runs per game in their last five games.

The Royals are on a slump, losing all the games in the series against the Yankees and the Athletics and dropping 8 of their last 9 games. As a result, Kansas City plunged further into the AL Central standing with a 34-38 record, 11.5 games off the No.1 team in the division – the Detroit Tigers.

Our Texas Rangers vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

Why should you pick the Rangers to cover -1.5 runs (Win $165 on a $100 Bet) – Texas has the momentum right now; the Royals are in a dreadful situation. Jack Leiter (3.88 ERA) may not be the strongest pick to counter the Royals, but he nevertheless gets his job done by making sure the Rangers would outscore their opponents in the first 4-5 innings of the match. Royals starter Seth Logo is coming off a strong start, blanking the Yankees through six innings in 0-1 loss. Still, in the last three meetings between these teams, the Rangers have averaged 5.33 runs per game, while the Royals have barely averaged 0.67 runs. Texas is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games and 15-12 ATS against American League teams.
