Rangers vs Royals MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
The Rangers and Royals will duke it out on Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium. Seth Lugo starts for the home side, while Texas will start MacKenzie Gore.
Both starting pitchers have had up-and-down seasons so far, and I have trouble handicapping either with their volatility. Gore has recorded four quality starts, has elite strikeout stuff, and ended May in tremendous fashion, but he’s also had more than a few rocky starts.
Gore faced the Royals a few weeks ago, tossing 6 ⅓ scoreless frames while allowing just four hits.
Still, I think a few Kansas City hitters can exploit Gore in this matchup.
Specifically, I think Maikel Garcia could find some success at the plate, given he has crushed left-handed pitching this season (181 wRC+).
These two have met six times before, with Garcia recording two hits in those at-bats. I wouldn’t be surprised if Maikel builds on his head-to-head success on Wednesday.
Pick: Maikel Garcia Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-128, DraftKings)
