Chicago at Kansas City

Chicago's young team was projected to mature into a playoff contender this year, but they currently sit third in the weak AL Central. These teams split a doubleheader yesterday. Kansas City is a poor team overall, but the Royals have been playing well of late, with a 7-4 record in their past 11 games. The pitching has gotten it done as Royals' staff has allowed three runs or fewer in nine of their last 11, as well as two runs or fewer in eight of their last 11. You have to like taking the hot pitching staff as a dog, and White Sox starter Johnny Cueto is just 1-3 vs the Royals in his career. Back the Kansas City Royals in this one.
