Today’s Free Picks
| Sport | Game Selection | Game Time |
|---|---|---|
| MLB | (961) Texas Rangers at (962) Kansas City Royals | 2:10pm EDT - Jun 11/2026 |
The PLAY: Under +10.5 (-114) Kumar Rocker (RHP), Michael Wacha (RHP) Must Start
A total above 10 is too high for a Rangers-Royals game even with the wind blowing out at 15-20 mph to right center.
Texas is 24th in runs and ranks in the bottom 10 in many major offensive categories. Royals starter Michael Wacha is a solid middle of the rotation type pitcher with a 3.44 ERA and 1.14 WHIP.
Kansas City is 28th in runs and ranks 25th in homers and OPS. The Royals are looking at Texas starter Kumar Rocker, who has only allowed six runs across his last five appearances spanning 28 2/3 innings.
Rocker is backed by a Texas bullpen that has the lowest ERA in the American League at 3.18.
