Prediction: Kansas City Royals VS Chicago White Sox 2025-06-06

The Kansas City Royals, with their mediocre 32-30 record, are taking on the struggling Chicago White Sox, who are a dismal 20-43. Because, you know, someone has to win, right? The Royals are -174 favorites, which is just a nice way of saying they're slightly less terrible than the White Sox.

Seth Lugo is starting for the Royals, and Davis Martin is taking the mound for the White Sox. Both teams have been, shall we say, "underwhelming" at the plate. The Royals have scored a whopping 209 runs, while the White Sox have managed a slightly better 217. But hey, who needs offense when you can have pitching, right?

The Royals have a 3.21 team ERA, which is actually pretty decent. And with the White Sox struggling to hit the ball out of the park (48 home runs, 28th in the league), this game could be a low-scoring affair.

So, my best bet for this thrilling matchup? Under 8.0 runs, baby! The odds are around 1.95, which is a pretty good value considering the anemic offenses of both teams. I mean, who needs excitement when you can have a 2-1 game, am I right?

Take the under, folks, and let's hope these two teams can somehow, someway, manage to make this game slightly entertaining.
