We'll continue to fade Royals starter Kris Bubic as he takes the ball against Johnny Cueto of the White Sox on Wednesday.
Cueto has 'turned back the clock' this season, posting a solid 4.02 FIP and 1.19 WHIP while giving up just under 3.10 runs per nine innings. Behind the veteran right-hander is a White Sox bullpen that is in excellent form, having posted a collective 1.80 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over the last seven games. On the road this season, the White Sox 'pen owns a 2.80 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 18 saves converted and only seven blown.
Bubic sports a 4.92 FIP and 1.54 WHIP while allowing north of 5.8 runs per nine frames. Keep in mind, the White Sox average 0.3 runs per game above their season scoring average when facing left-handed starting pitching this season.
The Royals bullpen has logged a 4.57 ERA and 1.53 WHIP at home this season and a 3.92 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over the last seven contests. Take Chicago (9*).
