Texas Rangers vs Kansas City Royals Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Dan Angell in MLB Picks
The Kansas City Royals (20-14 SU, 21-13 ATS) face off with the Texas Rangers (18-16 SU, 16-18 ATS) in the final game of their three-game series. The Royals have not won consecutive series in almost a month, and they come off a 15-4 loss to Texas that saw them use four bullpen pitchers.
While Kansas City’s pitching staff is taxed, Texas comes in with the ever-reliable Jon Gray on the hill. Gray has looked outstanding ever since a rough Opening Day start, giving up just four runs in his past six appearances. Appearances is the correct term, because Gray had one relief showing to save the Rangers’ taxed bullpen two weeks ago against Atlanta. In his last start, he overpowered Washington, allowing just one run in eight innings of work.

Our Texas Rangers vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Kansas City recalls Daniel Lynch IV from Triple-A Omaha for his first start of the season. Lynch hasn’t exactly set the world on fire in his first three major league seasons, as he’s alternated up and down I-29 because of a lack of consistency. He shaved his ERA to 4.64 last year, but he hasn’t yet shown the promise expected of a second-round draft choice.
Taking a green and unproven starter against one of the best pitchers in the game seems an unnecessary risk, especially with such a low price on Texas. The teams’ history of not playing close games in their matchups says that this is the time to get aggressive on this matchup. With Gray looking sharp on the mound and Texas’ bats coming alive in Saturday’s game, our prediction for Texas vs. Kansas City is Rangers -1.5.
