Kansas City is 39-25 UNDER this season while scoring only 3.37 runs per game and allowing 3.54. The Royals have scored only three runs in this series and lost both to the lowly White Sox, who average 3.51 runs. The Royals are 8-2 UNDER as road favorites of -110 to -150 and the UNDER is 5-1 when Michael Lorenzen starts against a team that allowed two or fewer runs its previous game. The UNDER is 12-4 when Kansas City plays on the road against Chicago and 14 of the past 18 meetings overall have stayed UNDER. Mike Vasil will start for the White Sox in what likely will be a bullpen game, but he has not allowed a run his past three appearances and he has a 1.89 ERA this season. Take the UNDER.

Kansas City at Chicago
Kansas City starter Michael Wacha (2.88 ERA) is holding batters to a .239 average, and the bullpen is eighth in ERA (3.35). The offense is 27th in runs scored, 25th in on-base percentage, and 25th in slugging. The Royals are on a 35-20-1 run UNDER the total. Chicago's offense is 26th in runs scored, 27th in on-base percentage, 15th in steals, and 29th in slugging. The White Sox are 3-0 UNDER the total in starts made by Adrian Houser (1.47 ERA), who is holding batters to a .203 average. The team is on a 16-12-1 run UNDER, and this shapes up as another game with far more pitching than offense. Play Kansas City/Chicago UNDER the total.

Premium Picks
Chicago at Kansas City
The Kansas City Royals made the playoffs last season, but got off to a slow start. The Royals started their season at 8-14, and it looked like this team was not of playoff caliber this year. The Royals have responded to that in a big way as they have been sizzling 14-2 in their last 16 games. The Royals' pitching has delivered as they have allowed just 38 total runs in their last 17 games, or just 2.1 runs per contest. The White Sox are 10-27 on the season and have been swept in the first three games in this series. The White Sox have scored just four times in the three games. I like Kansas City in this one.
