White Sox at Royals
WHITE SOX - Earlier this season the Chicago White Sox couldn’t buy a win against the Kansas City Royals. But after a two-game set in early May, where the Royals picked up the sweep, the White Sox have owned Kansas City.Since then, Chicago has gone 5-0 against the Royals and will add another to the win column today.Consider that the Sox haven’t just been hot against Kansas City, they’ve just been hot overall. Over their last 18 games the the White Sox are 14-4. In that stretch, and going a little further, Chicago has been impressive on the road, going 15-4 its last 19 away from the Windy City.On the other side, the Royals have been their typical selves. They’ve lost 4 straight and are just 4-12 their last 16 games.Also keep in mind that on the mound Chicago will turn to Gavin Floyd, who has become one of their most reliable pitchers over the last month. Coming into today the White Sox have won 5 of his last 6 starts. In that 6-game stretch Floyd has allowed only 6 earned runs in 42 1/3 innings of work.Floyd will continue his brilliance and the White Sox will continue their domination of the Royals. Take Chicago on the road in this one.
