KC Royals Need a Big Weekend In Chicago Against White Sox

After taking two of three in Minneapolis, our KC Royals need a strong weekend in Chicago against the White Sox. They enter taking another series against the Twins but a sweep felt like the outcome that should’ve occurred this past series.

Kansas City needs to add sweeps in addition to not losing series from here on out in addition to getting help from others.

Probable Pitching Match-Ups
Friday, 7:10 pm – Yordano Ventura/RHP (10-9, 4.22) v. Carlos Rodon/LHP (6-8, 3.90)
Saturday, 6:10 pm – Edinson Volquez/RHP (10-10, 5.02) v. James Shields/RHP (3-10, 7.50)
Sunday, 1:10 pm – Ian Kennedy/RHP (10-9, 3.76) v. Chris Sale/LHP 15-7, 3.07)

Comments on Pitching Match-Ups – Chicago will throw two left handed pitchers, the young southpaw Rodon and veteran Sale who’s had quite the season. Old friend Shields pitches the middle game, he’s been more bad than good since coming back to the AL Central. KC will throw three guys who’ve had success and failure against the Pale Hoes, hopefully they get it going again.

Series Outlook – Kansas City has played well against Chicago this season but will the White Sox being in spoiler mode move our boys in blue closer to the brink? Adam Eaton, Melky Cabrera and Todd Frazier no doubt wouldn’t mind given that’s all they have to play for currently. Kendrys Morales has been mashing his series in Minneapolis was incredible collecting 10 RBIs with HR’s in each game. He’ll need to keep it up, fans also hope he hits enough that Joakim Soria isn’t used.

Prediction – Royals take two of three
