The Rangers are basically back to full strength for this matchup with Jake Junis. Junis is allowing a .361 wOBA to lefties this season and that number balloons to .399 away from Kauffman stadium. Hitting conditions are ideal tonight with a warm 87 degrees in Arlington. Choo, Maza, Gallo, Cabrera, Odor and Guzman are all going to be tough outs for Junis in this park.
The Royals are 7-20 on the road and now have to face Mike Minor, who's 3-1 with a 2.08 ERA at home with one homer allowed in 34.2 innings. Look for Texas to improve to 22-6 in the last 28 meetings.
Mike Minor has been stellar this year with a 5-3 record and 2.55 ERA including 3-1 with a 1.95 ERA in his last six starts. Jake Junis is 3-5 with a 5.58 ERA and he has given up at least three runs in each of his last four starts. The Royals have the fourth worst OPS in the league against lefties and have a 7-18 road record. The Rangers are 9-1 as the favorite and 6-1 as the home favorite. Lay the favorite.
