Mike Lundin‘s Royals vs. White Sox Free Pick
Rating: 5/10*
Start Time: August 13, 2017, 2:10 PM
The Chicago White Sox had won four straight prior to a 5-4 defeat to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The Royals had dropped six straight on the road prior to that win, and I think the White Sox will give them plenty of trouble today.
Left-hander Derek Holland (6-11, 5.25 ERA) takes the ball for the home team. He’s 3-1 with a 3.91 ERA in 10 career outings (eight starts) against the KC. Note that the Royals are 2-7 in their last nine games against a left-handed starter.
The Royals turn to another left-hander in Jason Vargas (13-6, 3.40 ERA). Vargas is 2-3 with a 5.92 ERA in 12 outings (11 starts) against the White Sox throughout his career. He is 1-3 with a 6.94 ERA in five starts since the All Star break.
My free pick selection is Chicago White Sox +1.5.
