Not to mention the Rangers are playing at home and that should given them a slight edge as the Royals have been horrible on the year.

The Rangers are at home, but with Duffy on the mound the Royals have actually looked really good. What else will help the Royals out is the fact that Jurado is not the staff ace for the Rangers and that is definitely going to make it easier for the Royals in this game to bring home a win as the Rangers offense struggles against the Royals pitching in this game. Final Score, Kansas City Royals win 3-2.
