The Royals have lost their last three games and four of their five. Thursday’s loss marked a new low this season for Kansas City, which was shut down for the second time.
Matchup: The White Sox will be playing the Royals in Game 2. Kansas City is 16-4 in its last 20 games vs. Chicago.
Pitchers Matchup: White Sox’s right-handed pitcher Davis Martin (2-0, 2.45 ERA) will duke it out with Royals left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic (1-1, 4.09 ERA).
Hot on the Board: The White Sox are a +150 underdog in this match largely because of their poor head-to-head record vs. the Royals. Kansas City is a -178 favorite and +122 on the -1.5 run line.
