Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

The Chicago White Sox continue to show there’s no point in getting behind them, regardless of the price or the matchup. But for the sake of argument, Jonathan Cannon has been a mess in limited road innings. The Kansas City Royals need to take advantage of Games like this if they’re going to accomplish what they hope to, and Brady Singer has quietly been solid this season, especially at home where he has an ERA well under 3. Give me the Royals and the RL for max betting value, as backing the White Sox simply isn’t an option.
