Final Thoughts
Noah Cameron has been one of the hidden gems on the mound in baseball so far this year. He should continue to pitch well in this game against a White Sox lineup that has struggled on a consistent basis this year. I’ll take the Royals to win this game and cover the runline on the road as they enter today three games back of the final Wild Card spot in the American League.
