In contrast, the Rangers’ Jacob deGrom is an excellent pitcher who is expected to win when he starts. After a rough first game, he bounced back in his second, allowing only two hits and one run while striking out 11 batters. The Rangers’ offense has been performing well lately, scoring 19 runs in the past 17 innings, but they need to improve their consistency in getting on base.

This will be the second game of the series between the Rangers and the Royals. In the first game, the Rangers were far superior to the Royals, winning the game 11-2, so the Royals will be looking to improve their performance this season, where they have only been able to win 3 of 11 games, while the Rangers will be looking to get their third consecutive victory in a game where they are favorites according to the oddsmakers.
