Monday, April 17, 2023 Texas Rangers vs. Kansas City Royals (MLB) - 7:40 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Money Line: -205 Texas Rangers Rating: 9* Mike's Monday Unfamiliar Territory (WIN) The 4-12 Kansas City Royals have struggled on offense this season. They haven't adapted to their own home confines either going just 1-9. Enter the unfamiliar Jacob DeGrom whose fresh off a stint with the NY Mets of the NL. He carries a 2.57 ERA @ night thus far & faces Bobby Witt (.274), MJ Melendez (.170) & Hoy Jun Park (.269) in 1-2-3 order here. Overall, the Royals have really lacked pop versus RHP @ home posting a below the Mendoza line .196 batting average. Expect DeGrom to get in & out of the 1st before KC knows what happens. Lay the JUICE on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS-NO SCORE 1st INNING as my 9 Star Monday Unfamiliar Territory Play!
