They won the early game 4-2 behind 7.1 innings of one run baseball from Brady Singer. He struck out six and walked none while scattering five hits. First baseman Nick Pratto went 3 for 4 with a two run bomb.<\/p>\n The Royals are currently 5-5 across their last 10 games. They have fought hard despite being sellers at the trade deadline and moving key players like Andrew Benintendi and Whit Merrifield.<\/p>\n However they do struggle offensively as they rank 24th in runs scored. Up and down starter Kris Bubic toes the rubber for Kansas City on Wednesday. He is 2-6 with a 5.27 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. However, he has dominated current White Sox hitters as they are a combined 12-83 against him for a .160 batting average and .555 OPS.<\/p>\n White Sox Fight For Playoff Position<\/h3>\nThe Chicago White Sox record landed on 56-54 after splitting yesterday’s doubleheader. They won the nightcap 3-2 as starter Davis Martin tossed 5.2 innings of one run baseball.<\/p>\n Eloy Jimenez went 3 for 3 and Yoan Moncada launched his 6th blast of the season. The Pale Hose currently 1.5 games behind the MinnesotaTwins & Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central and 2.5 games out of a Wild Card spot.<\/p>\n The White Sox lineup ranks 5th in batting average but only 18th in runs scored. A big issue is their lack of power as they rank only 27th in home runs. The 36 year-old veteran Johnny Cueto will take the hill for Chicago on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n He has been solid this season with 4-5 record, 2.91 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. He has been stellar on the road with a 3-2 record and 2.00 ERA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox Prediction<\/h2>\nThe Chicago White Sox enter this game as favorites with a -140 money line, while the Kansas City Royals sit at +120 with a total of 8.5. Low scoring games have been the theme of this head-to-head series as 10 of 12 games have fallen short of this total.<\/p>\n Bubic has had issues at home but has dominated this White Sox lineup and now they don’t have their spark plug in Tim Anderson.<\/p>\n Cueto has been lights out at home and should be able to keep a lid on the watered-down KC lineup. These teams struggle offensively as they rank 18th & 24th in scoring. All signs point towards another under tonight.<\/p>\n Prediction: Under 8.5 Runs Scored<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n Join Drew Martin and a rotating panel of guests for First Pitch as we break down the daily baseball slate from a betting perspective.
