The Chicago White Sox have won five of their last eight games. The White Sox offense has put up 12 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four of their last eight games. The White Sox put up 8 runs in the first inning yesterday for an easy win. Lucas Giolito will make the start for the Sox in this one. He is 1-3 with a 4.99 ERA and 41 strikeouts this season. Against the Royals, he is Giolito is 7-2 with a 2.88 ERA and 80 strikeouts. The Kansas City Royals come into this game having lost seven in a row. The Royals have scored one run in their last three games and three or fewer runs in four of their last eight games. The Royals will counter with Mike Minor. He is 2-1 with a 5.23 ERA and 30 strikeouts this season. Against the Sox, he is 0-2 with a 2.78 ERA and 26 strikeouts. The Royals have not been doing anything at the plate and their bullpen has been taxed in the last couple of games. Yesterday's Royals starter did not make it out of the first inning. Gioloito has owned the Royals and I expect more of the same today.

Play on Chicago White Sox. This is a 6* play.
