Kansas City Royals (26-45) vs Texas Rangers (34-37)

The Royals as a home dog could get a look, but not with Kris Bubic on the mound in my opinion. He’s been getting better from start to start, but Bubic still has an ERA of 7.41 this season and a 6.91 ERA on the road. Texas just dropped two of three to Washington, but they get their staff ace on the mound here in Martin Perez. The Rangers have won 9 of Perez’s last 10 starts, with Perez posting a 1.63 ERA in that stretch and the Rangers as a team, more or maybe most importantly, are 6-0 in Perez’s road starts this season, partly due to Perez’s 1.76 road ERA this season. I think this is just another spot where the Rangers thrive on the road with Perez on the hill, and while some may question the price with Texas, I think it’s just a mispriced line as the books continue to not believe in Perez. I’m a Perez believer, and I’ll gladly take this discounted price with the Rangers.
Chris’s Pick Texas Rangers: -132
