The Rangers continue to inch closer to that .500 mark and should thrive in this series. The Royals are one of the worst teams in the Majors and this is not a good matchup for them. Rangers’ starter Martin Perez is having a spectacular season. He has allowed either zero or one earned run in 10 out of his last 12 starts and is among the AL ERA leaders with a dazzling 1.96 ERA. Texas is also 13-5 vs lefties and KC's start Bubic with a 7.78 home ERA and 1.88 home WHIP.
