The set-up: The Chicago White Sox held on for a 3-0 win last night over the Royals, and I expect them to find a way to get the job done here as well. Lance Lynn is 2-1 with a 1.82 ERA, most recently allowing three runs with two strikeouts in a win over Cleveland on Saturday, going five innings. It was his first start back from a minor injury and he looked great, so further progression is expected here after that outing is out of the way.

The pick: His counterpart is Daniel Lynch, who is 0-0 with a 5.79 ERA. Lynch looked shaky in his first big league start vs. Cleveland on Monday, allowing three runs over 4.2 innings. The Royals will send Lynch to the mound again today out of necessity. Chicago is 37-17 in its last 54 vs. southpaws, which doesn't bode well for Lynch. Lay the price, expect a blowout.

This is a 10* COACH'S CORNER on the White Sox.
