Chicago White Sox vs Kansas City Royals

Chicago's Bryan Hudson has a strong ERA (3.03) and solid WHIP (1.21) in 65+ innings. Kansas City counters with Seth Lugo who has struggled badly this year — 5.06 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 169 innings is poor for a veteran. The Royals are 67-90, on a 5-game losing streak, and 2-8 in their last 10 games — one of the worst recent forms in baseball. CWS has scored 5.9 R/G over the last 10 games and is on a W3 streak. White Sox are -118 favorites which is essentially a pick'em — modest positive edge here but not strong enough for a formal lean given Hudson's smaller sample.
