The four-game series between the Rangers and Royals will conclude Thursday afternoon, a key series for the Royals. Despite losing Wednesday's game, they lead the series 2-1, have won eight of their last 10, and have the weapons to fight to the end with the Guardians, Mariners, Red Sox, Guardians, and Yankees for the wild card.
After the Royals' 5-2 victory on Tuesday, they lost 3-6 on Wednesday. Kansas City scored all of its runs in the first inning thanks to a three-run homer by Pasquantino, his third of the series, with one in each game.
For the Rangers, Higashioka broke a 3-3 tie in the ninth inning with a bases-sweeping double on Thursday.
Patrick Corbin will be the Rangers' pitcher, but he hasn't put up the elite numbers of other Texas starters like Eovaldi or DeGrom; in fact, he was overhit by the Blue Jays in Toronto in his last outing.

Our Texas Rangers vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Even with a slow start, hampered by a lack of home run production that didn't come until too late in the season, the Royals have a chance to contend for the playoffs until the end.
In fact, the Royals already have a winning record of 65-62; in the betting world, they are a profitable team to bet on. A $100 bet on each Royals LM this season would have generated a profit of +252.
Veteran Lorenzen, who threw a no-hitter two years ago, will be the Royals' starting pitcher; he hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 11 innings.
Our prediction for Royals vs Rangers is: Royals ML.
