| Team | Record | ERA/ERA+ | AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royals | 5-4 | 3.26/146 | .216/.297/.373/75 |
| Rangers | 4-5 | 6.49/75 | .291/.361/.556/134 |
Well how is that for polar opposites? The Royals can pitch but can't hit while the Rangers can hit but can't pitch. This should be an interesting series for both teams. Ian Kinsler has more RBI's (13) than Jacobs/Aviles/Gordon/Butler have combined (12). Kris Benson has given up more runs than Meche/Greinke/Davies combined, so has Vicente Padilla.
If the common held theory of good pitching beats good hitting holds then KC should do pretty well this series and it doesn't hurt that they are running their top three starters out there. Meche starts things off tonight against lefty Matt Harrison, who will probably cause KC's predominantly left handed lineup problems. I kind of expect a low scoring series......at least until Farnsworth enters a game.
