The MLB wagering handicappers that the Royals are a team you can make money with if you pick your spots. They’ve been much more competitive in the homey confines of Kaufmann Field where they own a 19-21 overall mark, and have won seven of their L/10. Chicago swept the Royals at US Cellular Field in their only series meeting of this season back at the beginning of June, and they dominated them last season winning 12 of their 17 overall games.

Jose Contreras is by no means the pitcher that took the bump throughout the first two months of the season. His 2.76 ERA at the beginning of June has jumped to over four throughout his last five starts, and he portrays the look of a gas can waiting to get sparked by an errantly tossed match. He was lucky to get past the Cubs the second time he faced them, and was even luckier to escape his last start against the Cleveland Indians with a no decision. He threw 115-pitches over six-innings allowing six hits and four runs, but managed to escape a pair of bases loaded situations after walking a season high four batters. He enters his 18th start of the year 7-6 with a 4.02 ERA and 1.27 WHIP allowing 107 hits and 52 runs (49 earned) with a K/BB ratio of 65/32 in 109 total innings of work. In 16 career starts against the Royals, Contreras is 9-4 with a 3.27 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. He dominated them in his lone start against them this season allowing one-run and four hits through seven innings of work.

Righty Kyle Davies will make his eighth start of the season tonight carrying a 3-1 mark and 4.71 ERA. His first four starts for the Royals were nothing short of fantastic this season. He allowed a combined 23 hits and four earned runs in just under 25 total innings of work, and the Royals won three of the four starts. Since then, he’s 0-1 with an insane 11.57 ERA and 2.23 WHIP his L/3 starts managing to last just 11 2/3rd innings. He’ll hope to turn things around at home where he’s 1-1 with a 4.82 ERA. He has just one career start against the White Sox under his belt that came last season in a 6-1 defeat at US Cellular Field.
