Chicago at Kansas City

The White Sox have played well down the stretch, having gone 5-2 in their last seven games. The offense has been sluggish most of the year, but is at a high point right now, averaging six runs a game over the last seven. Jon Garland has had a decent season, but had two horrific games allowing 11 and eight earned runs. If you toss those games out his overall ERA is 3.73, so he hasn't been too bad. He is hotter now, than at any point during the season as he has pitched to a 1.23 ERA over his last three. Kansas City has won just three of their last 14, and the offense has gone stone cold. The Royals have managed just 37 runs in the 14 games, or less than three per outing. Zack Grienke gets the ball, and the Royals have been just 4-8 with him on the hill, losers of two straight. We like the White Sox to take the decisive game in the series.
