ROYALS KEY TRENDS: The Royals have lost six straight overall and seven consecutive games on the road. They’re also winless at 0-9 in their last nine divisional games, are winless at 0-4 in their last four games versus a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and are just 2-10 in their last 12 games after allowing five runs or more in their previous contest.
WHITE SOX KEY TRENDS: The White Sox have won seven of their last 10 games versus American League Central rivals following back-to-back wins to open this series. That said, the Sox are a surprising 0-5 in Quintana’s last five starts, are 0-4 in his last four home starts, and are 0-4 in his last four outings when he’s coming off four days of rest in between starts.
