A full 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Tuesday night, one of which will include an AL Central matchup between the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the White Sox and the Royals.

While Kansas City has not been terrible so far this season, they have also not been great. The Royals currently have a record of 19-22 and are in third place in the AL Central division. The Royals have an off-day on Monday, meaning they will be scheduled to start Stephen Kolek in Game 1 of this series. Kolek is 0-1 on the season and has an ERA of 4.50. That said, he has only made one start this season and has yet to pitch on the road.

As for Chicago, they have been about as good as Kansas City. The White Sox are 19-21 on the season and are currently in 2nd place in the AL Central. Like Kansas City, Chicago also had an off-day on Monday, and for Game 1 of this series, they will start Erick Fedde. 

The right-hander has a record of 0-4 this season, but has a decent ERA of 3.79. Fedde has actually been much more consistent at home this season, suggesting the White Sox have a solid chance to win this game, especially with an offense that has been sneaky good.

Our Chicago White Sox vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

While Kansas City is the small betting favorite, Chicago looks to be the best betting option. The White Sox clearly have the edge in starting pitching. In three home appearances (one start) for Fedde, he has allowed seven runs (five earned) over 18.2 innings.

As mentioned, Kolek has not made an away start this season. He was shaky in his lone start, though, allowing three earned runs over 6.0 innings.

Further, the White Sox are 9-9 at home this season, while the Royals are 6-12 on the road. On top of that, Chicago has allowed just 1.0 run over their brief two-game win streak. Therefore, with the edge in pitching and the slight edge offensively, our Chicago White Sox vs Kansas City Royals prediction is: Chicago White Sox ML.
