Kansas City at Chicago

The Kansas City Royals have been buried at or near the bottom of the AL central for years. While they have made some upgrades, they are still a step or two behind. The Royals closed at 2-9 last season, after opening 3-14 which has been their norm. The White Sox will once again ride the arm of Chris Sale who proved to be one of the top chuckers in the league a year ago. The Royals fared poorly in the role of a dog from +110 to +150 where they are a woeful 26-54 in their last 80 and have had all sorts of problems solving lefthanded pitching where they are 25-60 in their last 85 on the road against them. Take Chicago in this one.
