Wednesday brings nonstop action throughout the MLB with a total of 16 games. We start our day in Miami with the Marlins and the Giants at 12:10 pm ET, have a straight doubleheader between the Royals and White Sox starting at 2:10 pm ET, and finish out the Wednesday slate in Boston between the Red Sox and Guardians. For today's 3-leg parlay I'm sticking with the Royals, who I featured in yesterday's mega parlay before the game was postponed, and pairin g them with a favorite on the run line along with an underdog to win outright. Below I'll provide a breakdown of each individual leg and don’t forget to check out our MLB predictions for every game today.
Kansas City Royals -1.5 over Chicago White Sox (-122)
For the first leg of this parlay, I'm going back to my pick from yesterday before this game got rained out. We have the same starting pitching matchup, so my analysis remains the same today as it did yesterday. The Kansas City Royals might be one of the most pleasant surprises in the MLB to begin the year. They're 11-6 to begin the season, 9-2 over their last 11 games, and swept the Houston Astros in a 3-game set last week. The Royals have also beaten up on the White Sox thus far, going a perfect 5-0 head-to-head while outscoring them 22-5, including a pair of shutouts and 1-run games from Chicago. The White Sox have been the worst offensive team this season and it's not even particularly close. Through 16 games, they've scored a grand total of 34 runs (16 runs separate them from the A's with 50) and have been shutout or held to 1 run 9 times already. Trying to find a path to offensive production for the White Sox is a rather dif ficult task considering their 2 top hitters in Luis Robert Jr. and Eloy Jimenez have been out with injuries. On the bright side, it does appear Jimenez will be back in the lineup today for what it's worth.'
The Royals will turn to Brady Singer in game 1 of the doubleheader and he's been awfully impressive to begin his season. The 27-year-old right hander owns a 0.98 ERA through 3 starts and limited the White Sox to 1 earned run on 2 hits on April 5 in a game the Royals would win 2-1. Meanwhile, Jonathan Cannon will make his Major League debut for the White Sox in what'll likely be a spot start, giving some extra rest to the rest of the rotation. Cannon posted a 2.79 ERA with 11 strikeouts and 5 walks with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights this season. Cannon will need to be nearly flawless given the White Sox lineup hasn't provided much run support, and that's not something I'm willing to bet on. Back the Royals to get their 6th consecutive win over the Sox to begin the year.'
