Chicago at Kansas City

Kansas City has lost four straight and given up a whopping 43 runs as it was swept by the Oakland Athletics. The Royals are essentially out of the playoff picture as their pitching staff has imploded. Chris Sale is 15-8 with a 3.03 ERA and has pitched better than his record indicates because of poor run support. Sale has allowed more than three runs just once his last 10 starts and he has a sparkling 2.55 road ERA. Sale has given up five runs in 14 innings at Kauffman Stadium this season. Kansas City has lost its last five home games and four of its last five against left-handed starters. Ian Kennedy is 11-9 with a 3.62 ERA and has given up eight runs and 16 hits in 18 innings against Chicago this year. This is good value with Sale, so play the White Sox.
