The first four games of this series stayed under the total. Yes, Vince Velasquez and Carlos Hernandez have struggled, but neither offense has been particularly impressive. Both the White Sox and the Royals score an average of fewer than four runs per game. Nine straight White Sox road games have stayed under 10, and the under is 12-6-1 in Royals home games. Despite this long series, both teams have managed their bullpens well. The biggest threat to this under would be the possibility of a one-sided blowout given the starting pitchers, but I'll take my chances at 10.
Fading Royals starter Carlos Hernandez in this spot. Hernandez has been terrible this season boasting a 9.11 ERA and allowing at least three runs in every start. The White Sox offense should be able to put up enough to win big. Laying the extra run at +110.
Vince Velasquez got roasted in his last start. The Yankees scored seven runs off of him with three homers in five innings of work. But his previous two starts were strong. He allowed only one across the two outings. But this bet is all about lefty Carlos Hernandez, who gave up nine runs in his last start at Colorado and six runs his prior time out at Baltimore. The Royals have lost his last four starts. White Sox to win.
