It’s a bullpen day for the Rangers, owning one of the better bullpens in the AL with 3.65 ERA. However, Texas faces a lefty, and they have not hit them well this season, .224 average. The Royals have won five straight and only two games back of the final wild card spot in the AL. Salvador Perez is back in lineup, Kansas City has won Noah Cameron’s last four home starts while he has allowed a combined three runs in those outings.

Thank you Tigers earlier, so playing with house money. I avoided the Royals the first two games of this series despite otherwise liking them because Salvador Perez was out with an illness. They won anyways, and he's back. Noah Cameron (7-5, 2.47 ERA) has been one of the AL's top rookies. Texas originally was to start Jacob deGrom but is now going with someone called Caleb Boushley to open. Sounds like bush league. Basically a bullpen day for a team that has two wins in its past 12.
