#963 ASA PLAY ON 8* Texas Rangers +100 over Kansas City Royals, Wednesday at 2:10 PM ET - We are surprised at this line but feel it is likely set so favorably for the Rangers because of the Royals getting attention by the markets due to the traditional sweep avoidance. Trouble is, for Kansas City, this sure looks like a sweep all the way. The Rangers have been red hot and the Royals have been ice cold and Texas has the much better bullpen and has been hitting better than KC. The Royals have one of the highest bullpen ERA marks in the league and that continued to be a problem yesterday as they were blasted 12 to 2 by Texas. The Rangers have won 7 of 9 and the Royals have lost 14 of 18 games this season. While some may be looking for KC to avoid the sweep here and bounce back off an ugly loss, the Royals are actually 0-3 this season when off a loss in which they surrendered 9 or more runs! Brady Singer expected starter for Royals and he has been rocked in each of his last two starts and has a 7.88 ERA on the season. Martin Perez the expected starter for Texas and he has a 2.87 ERA on the season and he had a 2.89 ERA for the Rangers last season. Overall, in looking at Texas in this one, we like them to have success vs Singer and a bad bullpen while Rangers starter Perez and a strong bullpen continue the red hot run. Take the Rangers on the road.
