Shane’s Free Pick

Clevinger is coming off a strong start and he’s going to have another strong start again here. The Royals offense overall has been a major issue and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The White Sox might not run up the score, but it’s going to only take a couple of runs to secure the victory. The White Sox will get those runs and you should back them on the money line.
