Kansas City at Chicago

These two AL Central rivals enter today with sub-500 records on the season. They split a four-game series in Kansas City last month, where the losing team was scoreless in three of the four games, before the Sox won 6-5 yesterday, belting three home runs. KC (.242) owns the better batting average compared to the Sox (.231), while also holding edges in BABIP and strikeouts. The key today is keeping the ball in the yard, and Seth Lugo is just the man for that. He’s only allowed one home run in 47.2 innings this season (eight starts), with a 42:17 K-to-walk ratio. White Sox starter Noah Schultz was rocked for seven earned runs in his last outing, and after yesterday’s loss, I like KC to bounce back. Take the Royals.
