These pitches just faced off against one another in their latest starts so what have we learned? Miguel Gonzalez went 6 innings with a 8:0 K:BB rate and a SIERA of 2.2, his best outing of the year. By comparison, Duffy went 4.1 innings (by design as he’s been a reliever all of this season) with 3:0 K:BB rate and a SIERA of 4.4. He gave up a lot of fly-balls (54%) as well as line-drives (23%), and had an average 17% K-rate. I know the sample size of one game is pretty meaningless, but the point here is that Gonzalez was very successful against this mediocre KC lineup. White Sox didn’t do much either but when you compare each offense, I think Sox have an edge tonight. They rank 9th against the lefties, while the Royals are only 20th against right-handers. Throw in the fact that KC is dealing with a number of injuries to a few of their key guys (Moustakas / Gordon), and I really like the offensive edge the White Sox will have in this matchup. Too much value on them in this spot.
Good Luck
