Rating: 8*

The Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox will close out a four-game set Monday afternoon. KC took Sunday's contest 10-3, and I think we'll see another high-scoring encounter today.

Yordano Ventura (10-11, 4.42) takes the ball for the Royals. He's allowed nine runs on 17 hits and six walks through 11 1/3 innings of work in his last two starts combined. Ventura has posted a 4.67 ERA in four meetings with the White Sox on the season.

Chicago turns to Carlos Rodon (7-9, 4.04 ERA). He held the Royals to a pair of runs in six innings of a 7-2 win on Sept. 9 but he has torched for six runs on nine hits in five innings against the Tribe his last time out. Over is 4-0 in Royals last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter and 10-1 in their last 11 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

Over is 4-0 in Ventura's last four home starts vs. White Sox and 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Kansas City overall.
