The second-place Rangers have won four of six as they inch toward .500, and I'll back them tonight despite the hefty price. The Royals have dropped three in a row, are 13-24 at home, and are trying to develop young players. Texas starter Jon Gray. has pitched better than his numbers indicate, while the Royals' Jonathan Heasley has pitched worse than his numbers would suggest. Look for Texas to win for the 12th time in its last 16 games in K.C.
