The battle between Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox is about to happen this Friday
night at Kauffman Stadium Kansas City. This match is an opening game of a three-game series.
Dallas Keuchel is scheduled to start for the Sox while Kris Rubicons will start for the Royals.
The Chicago White Sox have scored 23 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The White Sox have won six straight games when scoring four or more runs. Tim Anderson leads the White Sox with 140 hits and 53 RBI while Jose Abreu and Yoan Moncada have combined for 239 hits and 156 RBI. Dallas Keuchel gets the ball, and he is 8-7 with a 5.00 ERA and 83 strikeouts this season. Keuchel is 6-3 with a 2.78 ERA and 64 strikeouts in his career against the Royals.
Chicago is second in MLB with a .333 on-base percentage, fifth with 674 runs scored, 15th with 163 home runs, and fourth averaging just over five runs per game. The Sox are currently without Tim Anderson, who leads the team’s position players with a 3.9 WAR, 140 hits, and 17 stolen bases. Anderson is on the injured list with a hamstring strain. The 2020 AL MVP Jose Abreu has been the leading slugger with 28 home runs and 102 RBI.
The Kansas City Royals have struggled offensively, ranking 24th in MLB, averaging 4.1 runs per game, 28th with a .302 batting average, and 27th with 135 home runs. The Royals do lead all of MLB with 99 stolen bases led by Whit Merrifield with 38 steals, to go along with 10 homers and 67 RBI. Despite the losing season, Salvador Perez is having a huge year, ranking third in MLB with 38 home runs and fourth with 94 RBI.
The Kansas City starter, Kris Bubic, has also been solid against the White Sox this year, holding a 2.55 ERA in three appearances, including 17 2/3 total innings pitched against them. The White Sox are the better team, but the Royals have been right with them in head-to-head games this season. The Royals have also won five of the last seven games started by Bubic, and I will take them to get the upset on Friday.
