This is an 8* on CHI WHITE SOX

The White Sox, who have high hopes for 2021, enter this game with a 3-4 record. They went down in defeat Wednesday, losing to the Seattle Mariners by a score of 8-4. But they did win the first two games of that particular series. This is their home opener and it comes against a Royals team they absolutely dominated last year. Chicago was 9-1 in head to head meetings with KC in 2020 with four of those wins coming by four runs or greater. The Royals’ bats came out swinging in 2021, delivering a total of 25 runs the first two games. But they’ve been quiet since with just eight runs scored in the last three games. Like Chicago, Wednesday brought an “L” for Kansas City as they fell 4-2 to Cleveland. Today’s starter is Brad Keller and when you look at how he pitched on Opening Day, it’s tough to make a case for KC today. The Rangers tagged Keller for six runs in 1 ⅓ innings. The offense bailed him out, but we don’t think they’ll do so here facing Lance Lynn, who allowed only two unearned runs in his first start. He also had six strikeouts vs. zero walks.
