The White Sox are one team that has had some good games on the year. The White Sox have ended up posting a 3-4 record on the year so far. With the Royals they have actually looked somewhat impressive on the season with a 3-5 record on the year and that could actually help the White Sox out quite a bit on the year here as the Royals are still seen as a weaker team.

On the season the White Sox have been averaging a total of 4.5 runs per game. However, the White Sox are averaging a total of 8.17 hits per game. Getting walks on the year for the White Sox has been decent with 2.83 walks per game, but have not really been disciplined with the batting as the White Sox have struck out a clip of 10.17 times per game.

With Kansas City the team has only ended up getting 4.17 runs per game. The Royals have ended up getting a total of 7.88 hits per game, but have walked 1.50 times per game. When it comes to the strikeouts, the Royals are a little bit more disciplined at 9.38 times per game.

Chicago gives up 8.83 hits per game and the Royals tend to give up 6.63 hits per game. The White Sox have allowed 3 walks per game and the Royals are giving up 3.25 walks a game. The White Sox only strike out 7.67 batters per game compared to 8.13 for the Royals.

While the White Sox are the team that many expected to win the AL Central or compete with the Indians and Twins, that has not held true so far. However, the Royals are one team that has started to have some issues on the year and even with their improvement are not showing up at the same level as the fans would like and that will lead to the Royals losing this game as they cannot keep pace with the White Sox. Final Score Prediction, Chicago White Sox win 6-2.
