Adrian Sampson has a 4.53 ERA for the Rangers while opponents are batting .305 against him.  The Royals will be seeing him for the first time here. Texas is 2-7 in Sampson's last nine starts, and the Rangers are 5-18 their last 23 games in the fourth game of a series. Also, Sampson has allowed 14 earned runs in 19 1/3 innings in day games while opposing hitters are batting .325 against him under the Sun. Go with the road underdog in this one.
