Kansas City had five players with at least two hits in their opener against Texas. Kansas City has a six-game overall winning streak against right-handed starting pitchers. The Rangers starting pitcher is making his first start and they have a terrible bullpen. The Rangers' last four losses were all by at least three runs or more, going back to last season. 11 of the last 13 wins for the Royals have been by at least two runs or more. I didn't think I would ever say take the Royals minus 1.5 runs and this may be the only spot all year but here we go.

Play on KC minus 1.5 runs.
