Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
The White Sox are having probably their best week of the season, and Houser has been strong through 18.1 innings, allowing just three runs. I still want nothing to do with the White Sox, a team I’ve faded for years and continue to make a profit doing so. Even with recent wins, a $100 bettor is more than $900 in the hole this season backing the White Sox all year. Wacha has also been dealing this season, which includes giving up 34 hits and 10 runs in his last 36.2 innings. Wacha just gave the Tigers seven shutout innings. The price is surprisingly cheap. I’ll gladly side with the Royals at this price.
