Texas at Kansas City

The Rangers are off a huge battle trying to hold off the Angels in the American League West, and came away with a 2-2 series split, despite allowing 40 runs in the four games, which has depleted their bullpen. The Rangers should be in a letdown mode after a big home series, and heading on the road vs. a below .500 team. The Royals are hot right now and on a three-game winning streak, and their offense will once again challenge the over-worked staff of the Rangers, as they have scored 20 runs in their last three games. The Royals have only been beaten at home four times in their last 15 here by more than a single run. The Rangers are just 2-8 in their last 10 when facing an opponent that scored 5 or more in their previous game. Play Kansas City on the runline.
