The public is all over the White Sox in this one yet Chicago is only one game above .500 on the road this season, losing bettors a lot of money away from home. The Royals send out Mike Minor and while he may be a lefty (and the White Sox usually feast on left-handed pitching), Minor seems to be the White Sox's southpaw kryptonite. Minor has faced the White Sox three times this season and the Royals winded up winning two of those games as the underdogs. Now, KC faces the weakest link in the White Sox rotation, Dallas Keuchel. Keuchel has a 4.22 ERA with a 5.51 expected ERA. That is mostly because Keuchel is not striking out many batters and he is walking almost three batters per nine innings as well. With the public all over the White Sox, we are actually seeing this price drop which tells me that the books are very comfortable with all of this White Sox money. It is worth a shot at home with the team that has won five straight, plays well at Kauffman, and is getting plus money. Take the Royals.
