Chicago White Sox vs. Kansas City Royals preview
The finale of this AL Central series sees Kansas City trying to bounce back after getting blanked 7-0 on Monday, a performance that limited them to just two hits and highlighted their ongoing offensive struggles.
Ryan Bergert takes the mound for the Royals with solid form behind him, posting a 2.70 ERA over his last three starts since joining Kansas City at the deadline, including a strong showing against these same White Sox just 10 days ago.
Chicago enters riding a three-game winning streak but faces questions about Aaron Civale, who has been hammered recently with a brutal 10.05 ERA across his last three outings.
The White Sox offense found life in the series opener with 11 hits and home runs from Korey Lee and Brooks Baldwin, but consistency remains their biggest challenge as they sit dead last in the division.
Both teams have seen the under hit frequently this season, with Kansas City averaging just 3.83 runs per game and Chicago not much better at 3.96, setting up what could be another low-scoring affair.
With the Royals still fighting for wild card position at 67-65 and the White Sox playing out the string at 48-83, there's a clear difference in motivation heading into Wednesday's getaway day finale.
