Kansas City at Chicago

The Kansas City Royals look to get back to the .500 mark with a win today in Chicago. The Royals have played better on the road this season than they have for a long time as they are a better than .500 team away from Kansas City. James Shields gives them a strong chance to get back to .500 as he is 9-5 on the season with a 3.70 ERA, and has already earned a win in Chicago this season. Jose Quintana has pitched well enough to win, but remains winless in his last three starts, and this has been a tough spot for him as the Sox are 0-4 in his last four starts as a home dog. Shields has delivered for KC on the road, leading the Royals to a 13-33 record in his last 16 road starts, and the Royals are dominating in this park where they have turned in 11 wins in their last 13 here. The Royals get the call in this one.
