Top MLB Betting Odds & Picks for Rangers vs. Royals

Bet: Rangers v. Royals (Ranger RL)

Texas Rangers vs. Kansas City Royals O/U

The Royals play their tenth of 12 consecutive games against AL West opponents when facing the Rangers in tonight’s series opener. Two of the three games from the first series involving these teams had ten runs scored, but we do not see this game coming close to that total, especially with how good Kansas City’s starting pitching has been recently.

Before yesterday’s matchup against Oakland, Royals starters had combined to allow 23 earned runs in 57 innings (3.51 ERA), with eight more strikeouts than hits allowed (55 K’s, 47 H). In yesterday’s 5-3 loss, Royals manager Mike Matheny showed how much faith he had in Brady Singer, allowing him to go 8.1 innings despite allowing five earned runs. As a result, Singer became the first Royals pitcher to lose a decision when pitching at least 8.1 innings since 2017.

Now Kris Bubic (1-4, 7.41) faces a Texas lineup that has averaged 4.0 runs per game over the last 11 games and scored three or fewer runs six times in that span. He is opposed by Rangers ace Martin Perez (5-2, 1.96), who has the third-best ERA in baseball. Perez allowed just one earned run in five hits in 6.1 innings in a May 10th win against Kansas City, and we expect him to do his part in shutting down the Royals lineup again.

Bet: Rangers-Royals UNDER 8.5 Runs (-110 at DraftKings)
