White Sox vs Royals Prediction
You can do worse than getting plus money with an all-star in Smith on the mound. The problem is the White Sox remain the White Sox, an awful baseball team that’s hard to back with confidence. The Royals have been piling up the wins, and it’s not often you get Cameron and a cheap price. Cameron has been even better on the road this season, where he has a 2.11 ERA and .205 allowed batting average. Give me the Royals and the surprisingly cheap price.
