Result:
LOSS

Chicago goes for the sweep - big surprise. They need to win these kinds of games to stay even with Boston for the AL wild-card. The line here is within reason as KC starts Luke Hudson who boasts a 3.42 ERA in his starts. Freddy Garcia goes for the White Sox. He's got a higher 4.85 ERA but he's 10-6 and 5-3 on the road for a reason - Chicago can hit. The Sox average 5.7 per game on the road and 6.0 vs. right handed starters. Over their last seven games they are getting nearly 7 runs per game. KC gives up 5.8 per game at home and they are allowing 6.6 per game over their last seven. Good teams (54%+) after 2 or more consecutive wins are 179-66 (73%) when playing a terrible team (38% or worse) over the last 5 seasons. Over the past two seasons, Chicago is 16-4 after scoring 7 runs or more 2 straight games. White Sox for the sweep.
