T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox.

I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The White Sox have looked good in their games lately and they have been closing in on the division leading Twins over the last week. They are just 1.5 games behind now and I think they will continue to make a push with the Guardians and the Twins both tied for 1st in the division now. This is coming down to a very close race and I expect the White Sox to win here since they really need to beat up on these bad division teams if they want a chance at this division still. The Royals have looked terrible this year, they have looked a lot better in their games lately but I expect them to start losing more games now after that loss to the White Sox yesterday. Kris Bubic (2-6, 5.27 ERA) is up for the Royals here and hasn't looked great this year. He has been giving up a lot of runs in his starts this year, he hasn't been giving up a ton of runs in games lately but he is consistently giving them up in every game and I think the White Sox lineup will make him pay if he gets himself into trouble here. Johnny Cueto (4-5, 2.91 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts. He doesn't give up a lot of runs in his starts and when he does he usually doesn't give up more than 3 runs. He hasn't given up more than 3 earned runs in 12 games in a row now, and I think he is going to have another good performance against this Royals lineup that has looked bad all year and hasn't been hitting well lately. I think The White Sox offense is going to put up runs in this game too. I like the White Sox to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 White Sox.
