Prediction published on 6/8/25, 10:21 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 6/8/25 at 9:47 PM in MLB Picks

The Chicago White Sox will take on the Kansas City Royals in Sunday’s Game 3 at Rate Field, seeking a rare sweep of their division rivals.

The White Sox have won four of their last 5 games, including back-to-back victories over the Royals, to lift their record to 22-43. Chicago’s pitching has been outstanding over their last 5 games, stifling teams to a 2.15 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. The White Sox has experienced a significant improvement in their offense, averaging 5.5 runs per game on a .277 batting average in the 5-game stretch from 3.6 runs per contest on a .225 BA in the season.

The Royals are in danger of falling below .500 after losing 3 of their last 4 games. At 33-32, Kansas City are fourth in the American League Central, 8.5 games behind the division leaders, the 42-24 Detroit Tigers. Averaging 4.9 runs per game on a .283 batting average over their last 5 games, the Royals are putting up decent numbers behind the plate, and would have won some of the games they lost this week if their pitching staff delivered solid numbers from the mound. In their last 5 games, Kansas City is sporting an atrocious 5.19 ERA.
