The Texas Rangers will play the Kansas City Royals in Game 3 of their series at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

The Texas Rangers are 36-37 this season and have won five of their last seven games. Texas has won the first two games of this series by scores of 10-4 and 8-3. The Texas pitching staff has a 3.93 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP, and a .238 opponent batting average this season. The Rangers offense has scored 324 runs with a .240 batting average and a .299 on base percentage. Adolis Garcia is batting .259 with 15 home runs and 49 RBI’s for the Rangers this season. The projected starter for Texas is Dane Dunning, who is 1-5 with a 4.17 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP over 82 innings pitched this season.

The Kansas City Royals are 26-47 this season and have lost four games in a row. Prior to losing the first two games in this series, Kansas City lost two out of the three games played against Oakland. The Kansas City pitching staff has a 5.05 ERA, a 1.49 WHIP, and a .267 opponent batting average. The Royals offense has scored 281 runs with a .238 batting average and a .303 on base percentage this year. Bobby Witt is batting .243 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI’s for the Royals this season. The projected starter for Kansas City is Zack Greinke, who is 1-4 with a 4.68 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP over 57.2 innings pitched this season.

Texas is 6-2 in their last 8 games against the AL Central and 7-22 in their last 29 Wednesday games. The over is 11-3-1 in Texas’ last 14 road games. Kansas City is 8-21 in their last 29 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 games. The over is 6-1 in Kansas City’s last 7 home games. The under is 38-14-7 in these two teams last 59 head to head meetings.

Kansas City has been one of the worst teams in baseball this season and has lost the first two games of this series. The Kansas City pitching staff has an ERA of 5.05, which is one of the worst in the MLB. The Royals are starting Zack Greinke, who has allowed 13 runs over his last 13.2 innings pitched. For the Rangers, Dane Dunning has allowed six runs over his last 16.2 innings pitched. I am taking the over in this game as the first two games have been high scoring games, and I expect the same here with Dunning/Greinke pitching.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
