Chicago at Kansas City

Chris Sale has been a huge factor this season, and the reason why the White Sox find themselves in first place in the AL Central. Sale is 10-2 on the season, but the Sox are just 2-2 in his last four starts and the break may leave him without his best stuff. Luis Mendoza has pitched his best over his last five starts allowing no more than four runs in any of them and leading the Royals to a 3-2 mark. The White Sox have been off the mark recently playing on the road to low totals from 7-8.5 where they are just 2-5 in their last seven. Kansas City has been an offensive momentum team and come into this one at 12-4 in their last 16 after scoring five or more in their previous game. The White Sox are just 2-6 here in their last eight as well. Play on Kansas City.
