The White Sox have shown some life recently, and the Royals are a pretty pitiful offense, but this feels like an under-price. Part of it is being wary of Dylan Cease. His velocity finally bounced back a bit last time out, but he still walked four batters and let up four earned in five innings. He's not 2022 Cease again yet. That could happen soon, for sure. But with the White Sox losing another key piece again with Eloy Jimenez out, run support is also an issue. I have the Royals as slight favorites here, so I'll take the plus money on the moneyline.

KC +126
