TUESDAY’S PITCHING MATCHUP: White Sox LH Chris Sale (14-5, 3.12 ERA) vs. Royals RH Edinson Vólquez (8-10, 4.99)
Sale's run of hard-luck decisions continued in his last outing, when he came out on the short end of a 2-1 decision at Detroit despite striking out 10 and permitting two runs on six hits over eight innings.
He hasn’t had a win in his last three starts.
Vólquez is also starving for a win following two rough outings. He is 6-3 record and 3.89 record in 13 home starts and has a 2-3 mark with a 2.89 ERA in seven career outings versus Chicago. He also had a string of solid starts prior to this.
Half of the last ten games in this series have gone UNDER the current total.
Also note that the White Sox hitters are 6-22 in their last 28 road games vs. a right-handed starter while the Royals are 0-8 in their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter.
We will be on the UNDER 7.5 here.
The White Sox are 2-11 in Jose Quintana’s last 13 starts vs. Kansas City. He will start Wednesday.
