Royals vs White Sox Prediction
As I said yesterday, the White Sox were supposed to be one of the worst teams in baseball this season, and they’re looking more and more like it with each passing day. I have no interest in getting behind this White Sox team. First it was the pitching staff and the defense; now it’s an offense that’s been shut out on back-to-back days. The White Sox have gone seven straight games where they’ve scored three or fewer runs. No, thanks. Give me the Royals and the RL for max betting value. The White Sox are on the automatic fade list until further notice.
