The KC batting order is just a pretty well-rounded one as well.
Eric Hosmer holds eight homers with 52 hits, 24 runs and 23 RBI. Hosmer doubled
and knocked in two runs in Wednesday's game. Lorenzo Cain has managed 50 hits
with 22 runs and 25 RBI. Alcides Escobar has 53 hits with 17 runs to his credit.
Escobar managed three hits on Wednesday.
The White Sox are 0-5 within their last five games against a
left-handed starter, and 1-5 within their last six road games. Meanwhile, the
Royals are 4-0 within their last four game ones of a string, and 7-2 within
their last nine Thursday games.
Those two teams are headed in
opposite directions and I expect they to carry on for many with this series,
starting with tonight. The Royals have gone 21-8 in Duffy's last 29 home starts
and 7-3 in his last 10 starts vs the White Sox and he's yet to allow a work in
his two starts so far. Yes I know it's only 7.1 innings of work, but still he is
likely to be going facing a struggling White Sox offense that has averaged just
2.5 rpg within their last eight games. Miguel Gonzalez gets the nod for the Sox
and he's struggled in his career vs the Royals, especially here where he's 0-2
with a 9.00 ERA in two starts. All signs indicate the Royals in this one. MLB
