The Kansas City Royals (40-62) take on the Chicago White Sox (51-50) Monday in the 1st game of a 3-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Royals vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Tied 4-4.
The Royals snapped a 5-game losing streak Sunday by taking down the mighty New York Yankees 8-6. Kansas City has started shipping off assets before the Tuesday trade deadline as they sent OF Andrew Benintendi to the Yankees. More veterans could be on their way out.
The White Sox are showing signs of life as they’re 6-4 in the last 10 and 12-8 in the last 20. They’re a team to watch at the deadline because they’re just 2 games out of 1st place in the AL Central after a dismal 1st half. They just took 2 of 3 from the lowly Oakland Athletics and should do at least the same against the Royals.
