Buehrle, Chicago White Sox -146 on the road at Kansas City Royals
Game Time: Thursday, July 2, 2009 12:00 AM ET
Mark Buehrle has helped the White Sox to five wins in his last six starts away from home, and that gives Chicago a big edge on Thursday at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium.
The Chicago White Sox send Mark Buehrle to the hill against the Royals in the opener of a four-game series in Kansas City this evening.
Buerhle enters tonight fray with the ChiSox owning wins in five of his last six road starts, totaling just six walks and 27 strikeouts in those efforts. He's also 13-2 in his last 15 team starts in this series.
Kansas City counters with journeyman lefthander Bruce Chen who will be making just his second trip to a major league mound since 2007. In his first start against a weak-hitting Pirates club at Pittsburgh's PNC Park last Saturday, Chen was charged with four runs in 6.1 innings as the Royals were handed a 6-2 defeat.
Back the better team with the better arm here tonight.
Free Pick: White Sox -146
