Kansas City Royals
Kansas City won on Tuesday night to set up a rubber match in the getaway game in St. Louis on Wednesday afternoon.
Jason Hammel picked up his first win of 2018 with seven innings of one-run ball on Tuesday. Danny Duffy only has one win as well. He goes for number two in this one.

Duffy is having his worst season in eight years as a professional. He has a 63 ERA+ and has seen huge bumps in hits allowed, homers allowed and walks. His strikeouts are right around his career mark.
Even worse, the Royals are 1–9 in his 10 starts. And yet, somehow, I have some confidence remaining in the man.
Texas Rangers
Duffy has been significantly better in his career against left-handed batters, which are what the Rangers mostly feature.
The Rangers did best the Yankees on Tuesday and will play a third game to decide their own series on Wednesday. The difference is that they will play in the evening and stay right at home, waiting.

Ariel Jurado made the first start of his career five days ago so it’s a good sign that he will take the ball again, right on schedule.
Or maybe not. The Rangers don’t have a lot of options and Jurado wasn’t exactly stellar in his first outing, giving up six hits and walking two before departing in the fifth inning with four runs to his name.

I like Duffy in the spot so I’m either backing Kansas City or Jurado against the Royals’ offense. I’ll take the latter and hope we get a good number. I think we may.
