White Sox vs Royals Prediction

In the rare spots where I give the White Sox a look, they make me look foolish. Bergert has been dealing since coming over from San Diego, allowing 15 hits and seven earned runs in 22.1 innings. The White Sox stink, and Civale has a 5.02 ERA and 1.38 WHIP on the season. In his last 20.2 innings, Civale has allowed 22 hits and 16 runs. In 36.2 home innings, Civale has a 6.38 ERA and .259 allowed batting average. I can’t get behind the White Sox. Give me the Royals and the reasonable price.
