The White Sox enter this game having won 6 of 9 games and have scored an average of 7.8 runs in the 5 most recent victories. Chicago is starting to get their bats going as they exploded in the first inning of yesterday's game too. The White Sox have a big pitching edge in this one with Lucas Giolito on the mound. He is 7-2 with a 2.88 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP against the Royals in his career. Giolito is off a tough luck loss to the Indians in his most recent start and his long-term dominance of KC, as well as the Royals recent struggles, should combine to allow him to get right back into the win column with another dominating effort. Giolito has piled up 41 strikeouts in his 30 and 2 / 3 innings this season. This one will be all White Sox per our computer math model. We will grab the road team at a very reasonable price on the money line in this one and bet CHICAGO WHITE SOX -140
