Pick

Kansas City comes into this game with one of the worst records in the MLB, while Chicago has played better over the last week. Chicago is looking for the series sweep in this game and they will be starting Lance Lynn, who has allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last five starts. Kansas City is starting Carlos Hernandez, who will only pitch an inning or two before giving way to the bullpen. Both of these pitching staffs have had a lot of issues this year, but Chicago is the slightly better team here. Take the White Sox to get the win.
