The Rangers are 10-6 to date, winning three in a row. The 2-8 Royals have struggled at home and vs lefties (.184 BA). KC ranks worst in runs/9 and close to it in runs allowed. Texas lefty Perez has three straight quality starts under his belt, limiting runs to just five in fifteen innings pitched. The Royals' Singer started the season very well, but each successive start has been worse. His last one was a debacle. The Rangers are off to a great start offensively and defensively. There is no comparison at the moment between their fine bullpen and KC's (6.45 ERA).

This line is based on Singer bouncing back, but after two very poor games, I am not sure that this is likely. There is still KC's offense and relief pitching to consider. Take Texas today, a bit of a gift from the odds makers.
