I am going to back Edinson Volquez here who has been pitching great as of late over A.J. Griffin who posts an ERA over 4.00 at home and 7.20 over his last three starts. I think the Royals are due to start hitting and they have 9 runs over their last two games. The biggest advantage they have is out of the bullpen. The Rangers have the leagues 29th ranked bullpen which did not come in to play last night when they sent Cole Hamels to the mound, but Griffin rarely goes deep into games pitching 6 innings just once in his last 8 starts.
Texas bullpen has a 5.55 ERA at home a 4.90 overall compared to the Royals 3.39 and 3.01 on the road. It's now or never for the Royals if they want to get back in the mix.
