White Sox vs. Royals Recap

The White Sox have an issue, in that they have too much top-flite pitching. Take Dylan Cease, as an example, who picked up his eighth win of the season during Tuesday night's 7-1 victory over the Royals at Guaranteed Rate Field. The right-hander matched a career high with 11 strikeouts in six innings of work, with his fastball topping out at 98.9 mph per Statcast, and marking his sixth career double-digit strikeout effort and his fifth this season. Cease now has 149 strikeouts over 114 2/3 innings in his 22 starts. So how is that a problem, one might ask? Well, it really isn't, except when it comes time for the White Sox brass to decide the four-man starting rotation for the postseason as Chicago raised its American League Central lead to 9 1/2 games. Otherwise, it's really just an ongoing issue for the opposition.
