Kansas City Royals
Keller was solid in his last outing putting in a quality start and picking up his fifth win of the season in a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
He went seven innings giving up four hits, one earned run, and one home run while he struck out four and walked two.
In 95.1 innings of work this season, Keller owns a weak 5.85 K/9, a slightly high 3.78 BB/9, an excellent 0.38 HR/9, and a solid 75.6% LOB%.
The end-result is a solid 3.40 ERA and a higher but still solid 3.73 FIP.

Kansas City has played sub-par baseball in the past week winning just two of their seven contests.
During that span their lineup is slashing .247/.325/.399 to go with 19 extra-base hits and 23 RBI.
Chicago White Sox
Covey was rocked in his last outing as he took his ninth loss of the season in a 7-9 defeat to the Cleveland Indians.
He could only last 2.2 innings giving up seven hits, six earned runs, and one home run while he struck out three and walked two.
In 81.2 innings of work this season, Covey owns a weak 6.50 K/9, a high 3.97 BB/9, a solid 0.99 HR/9, and a very weak 56.5% LOB%.
The end-result is an ugly 6.06 ERA, but a lower 4.54 FIP meaning bad luck and defense have hurt his ERA.
Chicago has played mediocre baseball in the past week winning three of their six contests.
During that span their lineup is slashing .235/.271/.417 to go with 18 extra-base hits and 25 RBI.

Free Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox MLB Prediction: Chicago edges out Kansas City
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: OVER Total Runs
Neither pitcher has the swing-and-miss stuff, while they have a tendency to give up free bases at a high rate.
Keller may own a decent 3.63 ERA on the road, but also owns a slash line of .271/.351/.359, while Covey owns a 9.45 ERA in August to go with a slash line of .317/.385/.424.
It is hard to pick between either squad, but I expect runs to be scored.
