Chicago White Sox vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Royals have been disappointing up to this point but the season is still young. There’s time for the Royals to turn it around. The White Sox were supposed to suck and well, they’ve wasted no time sucking. The White Sox can’t hit the baseball and the pitching staff is still rough despite being decent as of late. Wacha has quietly been one of the best pitchers in baseball through 13 innings, posting a 0.69 ERA and 0.77 WHIP. This feels like a spot where the Royals can get a much-needed victory. I’ll lay the juice with the Royals at home.
