The PLAY: Chicago White Sox -142 Action
The White Sox are the side because everything about this matchup tilts their way, even after last night’s 22–1 avalanche. Chicago has been a completely different team at Guaranteed Rate Field, sitting at 27–13 at home, while the Royals continue to sink on the road at 15–27 and have now given up an ugly 45 runs over the first four games of this trip. Davis Martin has been automatic in this building with a 1.01 ERA in six home starts, going 5–0 in those outings, and he draws a Kansas City lineup that averages just 3.64 runs per game on the road. Michael Wacha’s career numbers against the Sox look good on the surface, but his work in Chicago tells the real story — a 4.33 ERA in six starts here — and he comes in with a 5.28 ERA over his last five starts while the Royals have gone 1–6 in that stretch. KC is also just 2–9 in his nine road starts this season. Chicago’s offense has been far more reliable at home at 5.20 runs per game, and the bullpen edge is significant with the Sox owning a 3.43 ERA at home compared to Kansas City’s 6.24 road ERA. With the Royals leaking runs, Wacha trending the wrong way, and Martin dominating in this park, the White Sox are positioned to take another one.
