Kansas City is in a major funk, losing seven straight. The Royals have scored just four runs over their last six games combined. Chicago hasn’t been much better, losing five of their last six, but they have scored multiple runs in those losses. They have their ace on the mound today in Sale, who has hit a rough patch, but is a competitor and should step up with his team needing a big win tonight.
