Texas Rangers alternate run line -2.5 (+126) over Kansas City Royals
To start our mega parlay, we’re going to be backing the Texas Rangers on the run line. Jacob deGrom got off to a shaky start on Opening Day, but he’s been his usual excellent self since that point. On Monday, he’ll be facing a Royals team that he just held to 2 runs over 7 innings of work in his last outing. I would expect a similar result in this one, even away from the friendly confines of Arlington. On the other side, Jordan Lyles just surrendered 4 runs on 8 hits in a loss to the Rangers in his last start and things shouldn’t deviate from that script in Kansas City. Lyles is still carrying an xERA of 5.80 and is in the bottom 10 percentile among all qualified pitchers in xBA and whiff rate. Texas should jump out to an early lead and never look back.
