Kansas City Royals (27-39) and Texas Rangers (32-33) will clash in the American League on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals will be keen to start this three-game series with a win after defeating the Twins 3-1 in their last series assignment. They’re coming off a 6-5 win over the Twins with Stanley Marte hitting a 3-run homer to lift them past the Twins. But despite their recent exploits, the Royals will enter the field today as the +105 betting underdogs.

Texas Rangers, on the other side of the grass, are the -140 betting favorites to win tonight. The Rangers are coming off a 2-1 series win over the Guardians at home, winning their last assignment 10-0. They were excellent in both batting and pitching, with Jacob deGrom allowing only three singles in six innings. However, the Rangers will need to be more consistent against the Royals after suffering a 6-0 defeat against the Guardians.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Texas Rangers Prediction

The head-to-head statistics clearly back Texas Rangers to win tonight. They’ve won their last six assignments against the Royals, including a series sweep this season. The Rangers are the more balanced side compared to the hosts and have a 15-19 record on the road this season. In contrast, the Royals have gone 15-17 at home, a record they’ll desperately seek to improve. For this reason, we’ll ignore the moneyline odds and instead bet on over 8.5 runs. Both teams have shown renewed offensive energy lately. Stephen Kolek gives the Royals an edge after going 3-1 this season with a 3.32 ERA. The Rangers will counter Kolek’s influence with Nathan Eovaldi, who is 5-6 this season with a 4.10 ERA. Eovaldi’s experience should cover his worrying stats, although we don’t expect him to dominate the mound.

Our prediction for Kansas City Royals vs Texas Rangers: Over 8.5 runs.

Prediction:
