Shin-Soo Choo (rest) and Elvis Andrus (injury) are both out of the lineup for this day after a night game in Kansas City. The extreme hitting conditions make this a little bit of a wildcard, but I have the Royals winning 53 percent of simulations against this Rangers lineup.

Although this Rangers team can seriously swing the bats, they are still 6-15 on the road. Both these starters have been inconsistent but starting to put it together recently. However, Lynn is 2-2 with a 5.13 ERA in seven career starts in Kansas City including 2-1 with a 4.5 in three starts against the Royals last season. The Rangers bullpen is well worked between Kelley’s injury, the incompetence from Jose Leclerc, and Chris Martin throwing yesterday. The Royals left 10 runners on base yesterday, if they can get to the bullpen first they should win this game.
