Matchup History

Trends
Chicago is 2-10 in their last 12 road games and 3-13 in their last 16 game three matchups while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. Kansas City is 18-39 in their last 57 games overall and 5-17 in their last 22 home games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 game three matchups.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. Lance Lynn just seems to have been born with runners on the basepaths, and Brad Keller, while likely the best arm the Royals have hasn’t pitched like it lately and I worry that the White Sox will be able to get to him here as well. We didn’t have as many runs as I thought on Tuesday, but I think we were saving some for Wednesday. Give me the over here.
