Chicago White Sox vs. Kansas City Royals MLB Prediction:
This is a series that the White Sox have to win. When you play against teams you are better than, you need to take advantage. I look for Chicago to start off the series in a good fashion.
These are 2 teams that are going in opposite directions. The White Sox are towards the top of baseball and the Royals are toward the bottom. Another reason I feel good backing the Sox is based on how well they have hit left handed pitching this year.
Dallas Keuchel is the better pitcher and I look for him to pitch a good game in this one. The Sox should definitely be able to hit around Minor.
I like the White Sox on the moneyline in this one.
