Prediction
Pick: White Sox Moneyline +168
Given the White Sox's better overall performance this season, a more consistent bullpen, and Jonathan Cannon's abilities on the mound, they have a solid chance to win this game against the struggling Royals. Although Brady Singer has been a strong performer for Kansas City, the lack of consistent hitting and a weaker bullpen put the Royals at a disadvantage.
