Kansas City at Chicago

Kansas City got off to a great start but is 5-4 over the last nine. Emotions will be a little on edge tonight as Thursday's game featured a benches-clearing brawl that led to five ejections. Kansas City lefty Danny Duffy (5.51 ERA) takes the hill allowing six walks and 18 hits in 16 innings. White Sox star Jose Abreu is 3-for-7 with a double and a home run in his career against Duffy. The Royals are 3-9 when Duffy is an underdog, plus 1-4 when Duffy is a road dog. Chicago plays its fifth straight home game and the White Sox are 4-1 when following a loss. This is the first home start for White Sox lefty Jose Quintana, who had a 3.68 ERA at home last season fanning 95 in 93 innings in this park. Back the home team White Sox in this one.
