Lugo has above-average stuff, and given his extensive experience in the league, he’d fit nicely on a contender like the Cubs. He owns a 2.94 ERA and has struck out 93 hitters in 107.0 innings.

Kansas City is 25-26 in road games and 49-52 overall. Royals pitchers have a collective 3.50 ERA, which ranks second in MLB play. The teams play Tuesday for the second time this season.
