Kansas City Royals
Run Line Pick
KC Royals -1.5(+125)

The Kansas City Royals need to scoop up all the “easy” wins they can find as the regular season winds down. They currently sit 4 games back from the final wild card spot in the American League and are hoping to make one final push to squeeze into postseason play. Today they take on the Chicago White Sox who have been the bottom feeders of the AL for a few seasons now. Look for Kansas City to come out fired up and I expect a multi-run victory for the club.

Michael Lorenzen is set to start for Kansas City as the swingman looks to rebound from an iffy outing against the Rangers in his last appearance. Lorenzen is an innings eater, but his volume has been trimmed down of late as the Royals have leaned more on their backend pieces. Martin Perez is set to start for the White Sox and despite 8.2 innings of 2-run ball this month I am still not overly fond of the southpaw in his age 34 season. Perez began to see decline in his performance preinjury, and I don’t expect much from him in this spot.
