The Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox meet Saturday in MLB action from Rate Field. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox prediction.
The Kansas City Royals will send out Michael Wacha for the start here and Wacha is 5-5 with a 3.48 ERA and 77 strikeouts this season. Davis Martin will start for the White Sox and is 9-3 with a 3.18 ERA and 87 strikeouts this season.
The Kansas City Royals come into this game looking to bounce back from a 22-1 blowout loss at the hands of the White Sox on Friday to sit at 34-49 this season. After this series, the Royals will head home for a series rematch against the Rays.
Entering Friday, Kyle Isbel has 40 hits with 3 home runs and 11 RBIs. Jac Caglianone has 70 hits with 12 doubles, 14 home runs, 30 RBIs and a triple while Bobby Witt Jr. has 88 hits with 19 doubles, 10 home runs and 32 RBIs and Vinnie Pasquantino’s added 57 hits with 10 doubles, 2 triples, 6 home runs and 32 RBIs on the year. Maikel Garcia also has 70 hits with 17 doubles, 3 home runs and 30 RBIs this season. Carter Jensen’s also chipped in 62 hits with 18 doubles, 11 home runs and 42 RBIs this season.
The Chicago White Sox come into this game looking to add on to their big win over KC from Friday to improve to 42-38 on the year. After this series, the White Sox will head on the road for a series against the Baltimore Orioles.
Going into Friday, Munetaka Murakami has 48 hits with 20 home runs and 41 RBIs while Miguel Vargas has 68 hits with 12 doubles, a triple, 17 home runs and 45 RBIs and Colson Montgomery has 61 hits with 14 doubles, 20 home runs and 46 RBIs. Luisangel Acuna has 28 hits and Tristan Peters has 56 hits with 17 doubles so far this season. Chase Meidroth also has 77 hits with 14 doubles, 6 home runs and 25 RBIs this year.
I’m on the White Sox in this one. I’m hoping they still have some offense saved up after dropping 22 on the Royals on Friday, but I think they still show up again here. It’s a solid pitching matchup, but I think the White Sox can get to Michael Wacha for enough to back up Davis Martin, who has been Chicago’s best option this season and has been lights out at home as well. Give me Chicago.
