Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray (1-1, 2.48 ERA) has allowed just four runs through his last five outings and 28 hits against 35 Ks over 32 2/3 innings of work on the season. In two career starts against the Royals, Gray is 1-1 with an ERA of 1.98.

The Kansas City Royals are expected to hand the ball to left-hander Daniel Lynch who will make his first start of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Omaha. Lynch posted a 4.64 ERA in nine starts in 2023, not impressive, yet his best mark through three seasons in the big leagues.

The Royals are off to a hot 20-14 start, but I think the value is on the Rangers in this matchup.
