White Sox vs Royals Prediction 

Chicago was able to split a four-game series with the Tigers earlier this week, which should give them at least a little momentum coming into this matchup. The White Sox are 14-17 at home this season, while the Royals are 14-17 on the road. Kansas City did take two out of three against the Cardinals, but they haven’t won two games in a row in their last 14 games. The Royals are starting Lugo, who has allowed seven earned runs and 11 hits over his last 9.1 innings. The White Sox are going with Martin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Neither one of these teams is very good at hitting the baseball, and with Martin being solid for Chicago, I like the under here.
