After fluffing their lines on Wednesday, the Chicago White Sox have another chance to move closer to an American League playoff berth on Thursday, as they once again take on the lowly Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
After winning a dramatic series opener 14-11, the White Sox were widely expected to comfortably win game two. However, poor displays on the mound from Bryan Hudson and Erick Fedde allowed the Royals to eek out a shock 5-4 victory.
Despite that win, it has still been a miserable campaign for the Royals, and they are currently 6 games adrift at the bottom of the AL Central standings. In contrast, the White Sox are just one game back from the Cleveland Guardians at the top of the table with just four games remaining. Given Cleveland's tricky run-in, a victory for Chicago on Thursday would put them in pole position to secure the title and a place in the postseason.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
We're going to put Wednesday's defeat down as a blip for the White Sox, so are backing them to get back to winning ways on Thursday.
The Royals played well in their 5-4 victory in game two, but make no mistake, they are a relatively weak franchise and should be no match for a White Sox side with everything to play for.
Games between the Royals and White Sox have been high scoring affairs in recent times, and we are expecting that trend to continue in game three as the White Sox secure a vital victory.
Our prediction for Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox is: White Sox to win and over 8.5 runs.
