They are going up against a Royals team that is 20-14 this season and they have also been playing well in their recent games. The Royals have been pitching well in these recent games, but they do not have a great starter going today. They have Daniel Lynch starting and he is making his 1st start of the season. He was not great last season as he finished the season with a 4.64 ERA and he has allowed quite a few runs throughout his career as he has a career ERA of 5.18. The Rangers offense has been hot recently and they are going to find ways to score runs here with Daniel Lynch making his 1st start of the season. The Rangers also have a good starter themselves as Jon Gray is on the mound and he is 1-1 with a 2.48 ERA this season. He has been very consistent this season as well as he has not allowed more than 1 earned run in each of his last 6 starts. Jon Gray is going to give the Rangers a great opportunity to win this series as he will keep these Royals bats at bay while the Rangers offense has a field day with Lynch in his 1st start of the season. The Rangers will win this game.
