T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox.

I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The White Sox have looked good in their games lately, they are starting to get hot again with 2 wins in a row now. I think they are going to keep that run going here with another home win over a bad baseball team in the Royals. The Royals just beat the Yankees in their most recent game but they lost 5 games in a row right before that, and their offense looked terrible in those games since they were not putting up many runs before that game yesterday where they put up 8. I don't expect that kind of offensive effort to continue here in another road game and I expect the White Sox to continue getting hot in this stretch of schedule with some bad teams on it. Michael Kopech (4-6, 3.16 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked great all year. He has 3 great starts in a row now and didn't give up a run in his most recent start. He was great at the beginning of the year but got injured and looked a bit shaky coming back from that but, he had a great July and has looked like the same pitcher from the beginning of the year again. I expect him to shut down this bad Royals lineup here. Brad Keller (5-11, 4.18 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he hasn't looked great this year. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year and he has even given up 3+ runs in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts. He has been giving up a lot of runs lately and he hasn't faced any good lineups during this time either. The White Sox are getting healthier and their lineup is getting hot now, I expect them to put up runs on Keller and the Royals bullpen here. I like the White Sox to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-1 White Sox.
