As bad as KC has proved to be on the road this season (second only to Pittsburgh), they are starting to look almost as bad at home, at least against good teams. After losing the first two to Texas, they are now 8-17 at home where they lose on average 4.5 to 6.2. Their starting pitching is horrid and their bullpen is awful (6.97 home ERA). Texas is an awesome 17-10 away from home (second only to Detroit). They are scoring 5.6 runs per game away while allowing just 4.1. The Rangers have won 11 of 15 games played here in KC over the past three seasons. They start Kameron Loe who has a 3.09 road ERA this season while Kyle Snyder gets the call for KC - his first action of the season. Last year he went 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA. In AAA ball thus far this season, he hasn't notched a win. Good teams with a 54%+ win percentage off 2+ wins playing a team with a win under 38% hit at a 73% clip (176-64 over the last five seasons). Texas for the sweep here.
