Reid Detmers, Angels OVER 4 Strikeouts
Detmers has reached this number in every game except one. He averages over one strikeout per inning, and I expect him to be much better than in his last outing. Look for five-plus strikeouts today.
Kevin Gausman OVER 5 Strikeouts
Gausman has given up only 2 runs over his last 18 innings, meaning he should pitch deep in this one. His velocity has come up since the season started. A career strikeout per inning pitcher should reach at least 6 today.
Bobby Witt Jr. OVER 0.5 Runs
Witt has scored in 4 straight games and 6 of his last 7. He can get himself into scoring position with ease by stealing bases, or he can get an extra-base hit. Once in scoring position the Royals 3-5 hitters have been much better driving him in. Expect the Royals to score several runs with Witt plating at least once.
Marcus Semien OVER 0.5 Runs
Royals SP Michael Wacha has given up 13 runs over his last 21 innings. Semien and the Rangers are in a great spot to score 4 or more runs. I expect that he gets 5 at-bats, and the big bats behind him will knock him in.
