Kansas City at Chicago

Kansas City snapped a five-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over Chicago, but the Royals still have lost seven of their last nine games and are 26-31 on the road. The Royals have lost six of their last seven road contests and their last four overall following a win. Also, Kansas City has lost four of the last five meetings at Chicago. Jason Vargas was knocked around to the tune of six runs on eight hits in just 4 2/3 innings his last outing against St. Louis and the Royals also lost his previous start when he gave up three runs in five innings at Baltimore. Derek Holland got the win in an 8-5 White Sox victory over Houston on Tuesday when he gave up three runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. Holland has pitched 11 1/3 innings versus the Royals this season and they are batting only .179 against him. Take the home underdog White Sox.
