Texas Rangers vs. Kansas City Royals Prediction
I’m on the under here. I just think this is a spot where both teams struggle against the opposing starter as the Royals haven’t been great against lefties and Gore has solid numbers against the Royals. Lugo has great numbers against the Rangers and the Rangers offense has been lacklustre over the last week. Give me the under.
