Both teams are coming off of a loss in their previous contest but it’s hard to be encouraged after Keller’s Opening Day performance. The Royals’ right-hander struggled with his mechanics, giving up nine hits, six runs, and two walks without recording a strikeout in 1 ? innings of work. Just one week removed from that outing, I’m not sure I’m ready to trust the Royals’ right-hander here. Lynn has been one of the AL’s best pitchers over the last two seasons and he looked sharp in his first start of the year. Take Chicago to get the job done here on Thursday afternoon.
