<p>The Kansas City Royals meet the Chicago White Sox for the second straight week, so we’re taking a closer look at Tuesday’s opening clash of this American League Central three-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago with the first pitch at 8:10 PM ET.</p>



<p>Last week, the Royals upset the ChiSox at home, winning a four-game set as huge underdogs, 3-1, but Chicago is 7-6 against Kansas City in 2021. The White Sox are listed as firm -180 favorites to win the opener Tuesday, while the Royals are +166 road dogs with a total of 9.5 runs on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a>. </p>



<h2><strong>The Royals got swept in Canada&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Kansas City Royals are coming off a rough road trip to Canada, as they got swept by the Toronto Blue Jays in a three-game set at Rogers Centre (6-4, 4-0, and 5-1). The Royals’ pitching staff is doing a great job in the second half of the season, but the Blue Jays’ loaded offense was just too much.</p>



<p>Kansas City has registered the eighth-lowest ERA in the majors since July 16 (3.79) to go with the fourth-best WHIP (1.14) and the sixth-best opponent batting average (.221). The Royals have won nine of their 15 games in that span, scoring 64 runs on a .239/.296/.411 slash line.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Royals/status/1422226753544654854
</div></figure>



<p>Kris Bubic will get the starting nod Tuesday in Chicago, and the 23-year-old southpaw has already met the ChiSox twice this season. He got a no-decision on both occasions, allowing just a couple of earned runs on six hits and four walks through 11.2 frames of work.</p>



<p>Bubic is 3-4 with a 4.58 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in ten starts and eight relief apps this term. He’s posted a 4.78 ERA in five outings in July (26.1 frames pitched).</p>



<h2><strong>The White Sox look to break out of their slump&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The 62-44 Chicago White Sox are cruising through the AL Central, nine games ahead of Cleveland and 12 ahead of Detroit, while the Royals trail 16 games behind the ChiSox. However, the AL Central leaders have dropped seven of their last 11 games overall while posting the fifth-worst OPS in the majors since the All-Star (.691).</p>



<p>Chicago is batting only .213 in its last 17 games, scoring 67 runs in the process. On the other side of the ball, the White Sox own a mediocre 3.93 ERA in the second half of the season, while their bullpen has struggled since the All-Star break, tallying a 4.86 ERA and 4.31 FIP.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/1422223862616449030
</div></figure>



<p>Dylan Cease will toe the slab Tuesday against the Royals, and he’s 7-6 with a 4.14 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 21 starts this season. The 25-year-old right-hander has struggled through his five starts in July, going 0-3 with a 5.33 ERA.</p>



<p>Last time out, Cease has tossed six frames of a two-run ball against the Royals on the road. In three starts against Kansas City this season (all no-decisions), the righty has yielded only five runs (three earned) on 13 hits and seven walks across 16.1 frames of work.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Kansas City:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-15 in the last 17 games on the road</li><li>6-12 in the last 18 games against the White Sox&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>ChiSox:</strong></p>



<ul><li>10-4 in the last 14 games at home&nbsp;</li><li>13-2 in the last 15 games played in August&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-kansas-city-royals-vs-chicago-white-sox-pick"><strong>Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The hosts will have a difficult task in this one, considering the teams’ recent form. However, I’m expecting the White Sox to break out of their funk sooner rather than later. Their offense has been terrible since the All-Star break and can only do better in August.</p>



<p>The current White Sox are slashing just .199/.226/.287 in 65 at-bats against Kris Bubic, but they own a .258/.330/.427 triple-slash against the left-handed starting pitchers in 2021 (19-10 record). Bubic has had some ups and downs so far this season, and he’s allowed only four earned runs in his last three outings (18 innings), so I’m expecting some regression when he takes on the ChiSox for the second time in six days.</p>



<p></p>





<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>If you like to follow the betting trends, go with the under that has hit in the last seven meetings between the Royals and ChiSox. None of those seven contests has produced more than eight runs in total.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I don’t trust Kris Bubic, so the hosts are my top betting pick here. Anyway, the White Sox need to improve on the mound, too, and they have plenty of top-notch arms in their bullpen. I don’t expect the visitors to score more than a few runs, but the hosts could score a bunch if they finally start to hit well.</p>

Troy Trojans vs Georgia Southern Eagles Betting Pick & Prediction 11/16/24

<p>Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season brings the interconference battle from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, so we have prepared the best Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Minnesota meets Los Angeles for the first time since 2019, and the Vikings search for their third straight victory over the Chargers. According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, the Chargers are 3-point home favorites with a total of 52.5 points.</p>



<h2>The Vikings look to avoid their third straight loss</h2>



<p>The Minnesota Vikings (3-5; 4-4 ATS) are coming off a tough 34-31 overtime loss at the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday. It was their second defeat on the spin, as the Vikings blew a 14-point third-quarter lead.</p>



<p>Minnesota racked up only 318 total yards while surrendering 500 to the Ravens. The Vikings allowed their rivals to visit the red zone six times and score four times in the process. On the other side of the ball, Kirk Cousins went 17-of-28 for 187 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while Dalvin Cook had 17 carries for 110 yards.</p>



<p>Cousins also scored on his own against the Ravens, but the Vikings’ passing offense will have to improve drastically if Minnesota wants to stay in the playoff race. Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen combined for just five catches and 75 yards last weekend. The Vikings are scoring 24.3 points per game (17<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) while surrendering 23.9 in a return (also 17<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2>The Chargers returned to the winning ways in Week 9        </h2>



<p>The Los Angeles Chargers improved to 5-3 SU and ATS on the season following a 27-24 road victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. They snapped a two-game skid thanks to Dustin Hopkins’ 29-yard field goal with two seconds left on the clock.</p>



<p>It was a proper back-and-forth showdown, and the Chargers barely satisfied the odds, playing as small 1.5-point favorites. Justin Herbert had a field day, completing 32 of his 38 passing attempts for 356 yards and a couple of touchdowns. He also had five carries for 14 yards and a TD, while Keenan Allen recorded 12 catches for 104 yards.</p>



<p>Once more, the Chargers had huge problems stopping the opponent’s rushing. Philadelphia posted 176 yards on 39 carries, while Jalen Hurts tossed the ball just 17 times. The Chargers are yielding 25.1 points per game (23<sup>rd</sup> in the NFL) while scoring 24.9 in a return (tied-13<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Minnesota:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games played in Week 10&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>LA Chargers:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games against Minnesota</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-minnesota-vikings-vs-los-angeles-chargers-pick">Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers Pick</h2>



<p>The Minnesota Vikings are in a tough situation and desperately need a win over the Chargers, who continue their battle for the top spot in the AFC West. We should see a tight battle, and with three points on the table, I’m going with the underdogs.</p>



<p>As I’ve mentioned, the Chargers’ run D struggles mightily, surrendering a whopping 161.6 yards per contest and 5.0 per carry, enough for the most in the NFL. The Vikings average 124.9 rushing yards per game (9<sup>th</sup>) and certainly possess enough firepower to keep it close against the Chargers.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Minnesota Vikings +3.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The Chargers will continue to lean on their passing offense, while the Vikings will run the ball as much as they can against this leaky LA defense. Hereof, I’m expecting both teams to move the ball with ease and combine for at least 53 points in total.</p>



<p>The total has gone over in the Vikings’ last five games on the road. The over is 9-3 in Minnesota’s previous 12 tilts against the AFC, and it is 5-2 in the last seven encounters between the Vikings and Chargers. <strong>Pick: Go over 52.5 points at -110</strong></p>
