Royals vs. White Sox Prediction and Picks for 8/2/2022

After failing to make use of double-digit hits last night, the Chicago White Sox will hope to be more productive in tonight's matchup with the visiting Kansas City Royals.

In last night's 2-1 series-opening loss, Chicago outhit Kansas City 10-6. But they tallied just one extra-base hit, walked only once and struck out nine times, and were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position.

That won't get it done tonight, and it won't help them in their quest to haul down and pass the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central. It also won't help if pitcher Lucas Giolito, who gets t he start tonight at Guaranteed Rate Field, continues to struggle at home.
