The Kansas City Royals(5-4) battle the Chicago White Sox(1-7) in today’s series finale.
The Royals took a 3-0 series lead yesterday with their 3-0 shutout win. Michael Wacha lasted 7.0 innings, allowing two hits and no earned runs while striking out eight batters. MJ Melendez was 1 for 4 in the game, hitting a home run and recording two RBIs.

Key Stats
Kansas City Royals
Alec Marsh will be the starter for the Royals in today’s game. Marsh has started the season 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and struck out five batters. Bobby Witt Jr. leads the team with a .389 batting average, 14 hits, and an OBP of .444. Salvador Perez has recorded a team-high nine RBIs, while Maikel Garcia has hit three home runs.
Chicago White Sox
The White Sox will send Garrett Crochet to the mound for today’s game. Crochet has started the season 1-1 with a 1.38 ERA and 16 strikeouts. Yoan Moncada leads the team with a .250 batting average, an OBP of .364, and seven hits. Luis Robert Jr. has tallied four RBIs, while Paul DeJong has hit two home runs.
Game Prediction
Chicago has been terrible in this series, and I don’t see things as being any different today. They have only been able to score two runs against KC in three games. Now, they face Alec Marsh, who is off to a hot start this season. Crochet being on the mound gives the Sox a fighting chance, but I don’t see him being able to slow down this team enough. Back the Royals to win and clean sweep the series
Final Pick
Kansas City Royals ML (-135)
