#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Kansas City vs. Texas, 07/28/2016 4:05 PM, Score: 2 - 3
Money Line: -154.00 Texas (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Texas Rangers
Rating: 5*

The Rangers took two of three from the Royals in Kansas City last week. I like Texas as the teams open a four-game set at Arlington Thursday night.

Cole Hamels (11-2, 2.87) takes the ball for Texas. He hasn't allowed an earned run in his last two starts, and that includes 5 1/3 innings against the Royals his last time out. Rangers are 13-3 in Hamels' last 16 home starts and 8-1 in Hamels' last nine home starts vs. a team with a losing record.

The Royals turn to Yordano Ventura (6-8, 4.99 ERA) who is 2-3 with a 4.94 ERA in five career starts against the Rangers after surrendering three runs and three hits with four walks through five innings when tossing opposite Hamels last week. The Royals have lost each of his last five starts and he's 2-5 with a 5.26 ERA in 10 road starts this season.

Kansas City ended a four-game skid with a 7-5 victory against the Halos on Wednesday, but it's 0-7 in its last seven games following a win.

Note that:
