The set-up: The White Sox can't be too happy on how they've started, so they'll be extra anxious to here to get untracked vs. the lowly Royals. The visitors hand the ball to Dallas Keuchel (1-0, 3.38 ERA) who earned a victory vs. the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs off three hits with zero walks over six innings. There's no reason not to believe that Keuchel won't be able to carry that momentum over here.

The pick: Kris Bubic is 22 years old and he's yet to even throw at the Double A level, but the talent-strapped Royals have little choice but to throw the rookie to the hungry wolves here. Perhaps Bubic will go on to be the greatest pitcher in the history of the game, but I think he'll struggle here in this difficult first matchup. All things considered, a great price.
