Kansas City at Chicago

Kansas City has the correct pitcher on the mound to snap its three-game skid. Kris Bubic has a 1.17 WHIP, and the Royals have won his past four starts. He has allowed only eight runs in 23 2/3 innings with 21 strikeouts. Chicago hitters are batting just .175 in 40 at-bats against Bubic. Anthony Kay will start for Chicago, and he owns a 4.89 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP. He has given up 14 runs on 25 hits in his past 17 2/3 innings. Kansas City's bullpen was not the problem on Wednesday as it allowed a run on two hits in three innings after starter Seth Lugo was touched for five runs in five innings. Take the Royals.
