The Royals will host the Chicago White Sox in Game Two of their weekend series at Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City, MO. First Pitch for this AL Central battle is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EST.
Kansas City won a low-scoring affair in Game One Friday night behind 5 1/3 solid innings from Noah Cameron to start the game (six hits, one earned run). Chicago tied it up with a run in the top of the fourth, but the Royalls pulled ahead for good with a run in the bottom half. Fans will hope Royals starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen will pick up where Cameron left off. Lorenzen is 5-8 in 18 starts with a 4.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a .259 OBA. He’s had his best stuff at home, where he is 2-3 in six starts with a 3.79 ERA and .259 OBA. Sean Burke is scheduled to get the start for the White Sox. Burke is 4-9 in 23 starts with a 4.26 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and .251 OBA. He’s had it tough on the road, where he is winless (0-5) in ten starts with a 4.78 ERA and .260 OBA.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
Both pitchers have done well against the other team. Kansas City has done a decent job hitting the ball over the last week (30 runs across six games, .264 BA). However, Burke has something working in his favor—the KC lineup has struggled to score runs at home. But, then again, the White Sox struggle to get runs across the plate, too.
Our Chicago vs. Kansas City Pick: UNDER 9.5
