Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Rotation #911 Monday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox @ 8:10 ET - Both teams are off wins yesterday in which they each allowed just 1 run. Based on this pitching match-up, each of these clubs is going to be giving up a whole lot more on Monday. The White Sox send Dallas Keuchel to the mound. He has a knack for struggling more on the road than at home. Also, he enters this start with a 5.62 ERA in his last 3 starts overall. Keuchel has been getting plenty of run support and the over is 3-0 in his last 3 starts and 6-3 in his road starts this season. Mike Minor starts for the Royals here. The over is 6-3 in his home start this season. Minor has a 5.61 ERA at home on the year. He is off a good start at Milwaukee but the Brewers have been involved in a lot of low-scoring games of late. In his two starts that just preceded that one, Minor allowed 10 earned runs in 10 innings. Also, now he faces a White Sox team that is known for pounding southpaws. Chicago ranks 4th in the majors for batting average versus lefties. The White Sox are 19-8 in games against left-handed starters and should hit Minor well, but I also expect Keuchel to get hit hard. The Royals are a solid hitting team at home and rank 6th out of all 30 MLB teams for batting average at home. KC averages 5 runs per game at home. White Sox average 6 runs per game versus left-handed starters. Minor allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings in his only home start versus Chicago this season. Hot weather for this game this evening and we should see hot bats as well. Both teams rank in the lower half of the majors for bullpen ERA as well. The Royals have won 5 straight games and averaged scoring 6.2 runs per victory. The White Sox are off a low-scoring series with the Brewers but their bats will heat up against Minor and a Royals pen they are familiar with. The result should be plenty of runs for both teams in this one. 10* OVER the total in Kansas City
