Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals Betting Pick & Prediction 7/21/24

<p>The Kansas City Royals meet the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, August 5, to wrap up their three-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, so here’s the best betting pick for this American League Central showdown along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Excluding the middle contest of this set, the White Sox have won 13 of their last 19 encounters with the Royals and are 8-6 against Kansas City in 2021. Chicago is a strong fave for Thursday’s closer, while the totals are set at 9.5 runs.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Royals extended their losing streak last Tuesday&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Kansas City Royals fell to 45-60 on the season following a 7-1 defeat in the opening clash of this series last Tuesday, extending their losing streak to four games. Before that heavy loss at Guaranteed Rate Field, the Royals got swept by the Blue Jays in a three-game set at Rogers Centre in Toronto.</p>



<p>Kansas City has struggled at the plate since the All-Star break, recording the third-worst OPS in the majors (.684) while batting .231. The Royals have done a much better job on the other side of the ball, sporting a 4.02 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over the last three weeks.</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/1422744227176386560
</div></figure>



<p>Daniel Lynch will get the starting call Thursday, and the 24-year-old rookie is 1-3 with a poor 6.95 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in five starts. He met the ChiSox in May and got pounded for eight earned runs while recording only a couple of outs. Last time out, the lefty has been charged for a loss in a 6-4 defeat at Toronto, yielding three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two across six innings of work.</p>



<h2><strong>The White Sox found their groove in the opener</strong></h2>



<p>The Chicago White Sox improved to 63-44 on the season following an impressive victory over the Royals in the opener. Dylan Cease threw six scoreless innings and surrendered one hit and two walks while punching out 11. On the other side of the ball, the White Sox scored seven runs on five hits, while both Andrew Vaughn and Tim Andreson went yard.</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/1422760277746102277
</div></figure>



<p>Chicago’s offense has struggled since the All-Star, slashing just .211/.297/.396. At least, the ChiSox have smacked 25 home runs in the second half of the season, while their pitching staff has recorded a decent 3.76 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.</p>



<p>Dallas Keuchel will take the mound Thursday, and he’s 7-4 with a 4.51 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 20 starts and one relief appearance this season. The 33-year-old southpaw hasn’t been sharp in his last two starts (11.1 frames), surrendering nine earned runs on 11 hits and a couple of walks.</p>



<p>Keuchel met the Royals on July 26 and got charged for a loss in a 4-3 defeat. He yielded four earned runs on six hits and a walk while punching out three through six frames of work. Dallas is 6-2 with a 2.76 ERA in 12 career starts against the Royals.</p>



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



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



<ul><li>2-16 in the last 18 games on the road</li><li>6-13 in the last 19 games against the White Sox&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



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



<ul><li>11-4 in the last 15 games at home&nbsp;</li><li>14-2 in the last 16 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 White Sox are 41-18 against the sub-.500 teams this season. Also, they are 20-10 against the left-handed starting pitchers. The ChiSox have already tortured Daniel Lynch, and I’m looking for another strong performance against the rookie left-hander.</p>



<p>Chicago is slashing .256/.330/.427 against the lefties, so give me the hosts to win. Their bullpen is solid insurance if Dallas Keuchel starts to struggle, and the White Sox should be fired up to continue with high-scoring displays.</p>





<p></p>



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



<p>With a couple of lefties on the mound, I’m going with the over on the totals, though the hosts remain my best betting pick here. I’ve mentioned how good the ChiSox are against the southpaws, while the Royals have recorded a .255/.306/.426 slash line against the left-handed starting pitchers.</p>



<p>On the other hand, the betting trends are suggesting the under, as the previous eight encounters between the Royals and ChiSox went in the under, excluding the middle contest of this series.</p>





<p><strong>           </strong></p>

Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox Odds, Pick, Prediction 8/5/21

Do you remember once upon a time, when the Philadelphia 76ers, with their dominant center and army of top draft picks, were going to be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference for years to come? Surely there are plenty of BetAnySports customers who recall that. It really wasn't long ago.

So when we see that the Sixers, at this point before the restart, have a 39-26 straight-up record (28-33-4 against the spread), it actually may be kind of disappointing.

We don't know who is to blame. But the head coach usually gets the brunt of it. And so there will be something of a microscope on Brett Brown as we move through the seeding games.

Those games might be important to this squad, if the objective is to move past the first round of playoff action. They are tied with Indiana for fifth place in the East; they wouldn't mind being fourth or fifth, because that would mean a matchup with Miami or Indiana in the opening round, but Boston would be a more dangerous opponent.

And if you're a guy like Brown, that might be pretty important to your future.

The Sixers are embarking on some bold steps with regard to adjusting their lineup as we get ready to start again. They will see action on Saturday, August 1 with a game against the Pacers (scheduled for 7 PM ET).

Philly is a 5.5-point favorite with a total of 213 points, according to the numbers posted at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>.

It is kind of unusual to have a 6-10 player as a point guard, but that is what the Sixers have had with Ben Simmons, the former #1 pick out of LSU who is an All-Star, but one that is rather incomplete. He knows how to get into passing lanes and disrupt things a little, as his league lead in steals would indicate. And he can be difficult to deal with when able to drive to the hoop.

But he is no threat with his outside shot; certainly not from three-point range. He has made only two triples in his career, and even though we saw some footage of him doing that in practice in the bubble, we'll believe it when we see it in game situations.

Opponents who know he can't burn them from the outside can take more liberties in collapsing on him, and that is what the Sixers don't really want.

So they are taking Simmons and moving him to forward, where he can continue to make plays but without all the ball-handling responsibility. At the point will be Shake Milton, who has come from the G-League. Milton is more of a pure point guard, but he supplies the ability to stretch the defense out because of his shot. In fact, he is 45% from the arc, and that will present problems for opponents.

It might also give Joel Embiid more room. Embiid has missed some time, but he is as good as any big man in the NBA when healthy. The numbers (23.4 ppg, 11.8 rpg) bear that out.

We'll see how all this affects Al Horford, who will have to accept a role coming off the bench.

When people like Simmons and Matisse Thybulle are on the floor together, Philadelphia can be a pesky team on defense. As it is, they already limited opponents to fewer three-pointers than any other club and are second in the NBA in Defensive Rebounding Percentage.

They hold a talent edge over Indiana, but what must be taken into account is that they seem to get lost when they are away from home. The Sixers are just 10-24 as a road team this season, and a woeful 9-23-2 against the spread.

In terms of the over-under, we don't know if they are going to catch fire right away or if they have to get used to the adjustments at first. To ask them to go at least 6-2 in the seeding games might be too much, so we'll side with the -160 on the "Under 5.5" win total at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, where you can get more props on the NBA restart than anyone else.
