<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>

The RBC Heritage field took a little bit of a hit with the withdrawal of Bryson DeChambeau, but for a tournament immediately following The Masters at Augusta National, we actually have quite a field on hand in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Harbour Town Golf Links is the course in question and the Invitational status for this event brings out a little bit better of a field. The cut-down field has 132 players instead of 156 and a little bit more exclusive criteria to get into the tournament. It should be a good one and we certainly have a lot to talk about.

We’ll put odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a> down at the bottom of the page after we go through all the particulars and the types of players that you want to pick in this field.
<h3><strong><u>The Odds</u></strong></h3>
Dustin Johnson once again sits near the top of another odds board with his price of +1000 for this weekend’s RBC Heritage. Webb Simpson sits at +1200 with Patrick Cantlay at +1400. There are a lot of really high-class players in this event, including Collin Morikawa at +2000, Daniel Berger and Matthew Fitzpatrick at +2200, Cam Smith, Ty Hatton, and Abraham Ancer at +2500, and then Paul Casey at +2800.

Corey Conners, Sungjae Im, Sergio Garcia, Tommy Fleetwood, Will Zalatoris, and Lee Westwood are listed in the next group at +3000 or +3300.

There are a lot of players not here, like Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Viktor Hovland, and others, but this is still an exciting field for the tournament right after a major and the short prices on the board are all guys with a chance to win.
<h3><strong><u>Course Profile</u></strong></h3>
Harbour Town Golf Links is a par 71 coming in around 7,100 yards. Like all coastal courses, wind could be a significant factor. Accuracy is preferable to distance here, as hitting fairways and good second-shot irons is the way to win. The list of recent winners here includes the reigning champ in Simpson, but then CT Pan, Satoshi Kodaira, Wesley Bryan, Branden Grace, Jim Furyk, Matt Kuchar, and others that are not prolific hitters.

Distance is never really a bad thing, so long as it comes with some accuracy. Simpson torched the course to shoot 22-under and beat Ancer by one shot, but the previous four winning scores were 12-under, 12-under, 13-under, and 9-under. It all depends on how the weather plays.

The top nine in SG: Approach per DataGolf all made the cut last year, including runner-up Ancer, winner Simpson, and top-five players Sergio Garcia and Joaquin Niemann. Short grass and GIRs are what you want to see here.

Scrambling, proximity to the hole, and driving accuracy are three pretty important stats this week.

<h3><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h3>
This is our Horse for Course section, where we look at guys with past success at Harbour Town. Simpson’s win last year was his third top-10 finish and his fifth top-20 finish in Hilton Head.

Rory Sabbatini stands out at +16000. He has four top-10 finishes here in his career and was 21st last year with good metrics across the board. At 160/1, you could do a lot worse, even if the current form is a little iffy.

Kevin Streelman is +9000. He shot 2-under, but missed the cut last year. He had two top-10 finishes the two years prior.

Ian Poulter is +6000 with four straight top-15 finishes. This course does have a little Scottish/English flare to it, which would seem to play into Poulter’s game.

Matt Kuchar has five top-10 finishes here, including a win back in 2014. His 11-under failed to crack the top 40 last year, but he did play well again. He’s +4000 this week and in pretty good form.

Kevin Kisner, who missed the cut at 3-under last year, has finished 11th or better three times in his last six starts at Harbour Town. That’s not bad for a +5000 price tag.

Branden Grace is a past winner at +8000 with three top-11 finishes. Luke Donald is +60000 with five runners-up and two third-place finishes. He’s clearly not the player he used to be, but we’re looking at course form guys.

Patrick Cantlay has finished third, seventh, and third in his three career starts here.
<h3><strong><u>Recent Form</u></strong></h3>
You certainly have to like where the game is at for Corey Conners, who has three top-10 finishes and a 14th in his last four stroke play events. Paul Casey finished 26th at The Masters, but also has a couple of top-10 finishes recently. Si Woo Kim was ninth at The PLAYERS Championship, 23rd at the Valero Texas Open, and 12th at The Masters. He’s in some good recent form.

Obviously Will Zalatoris is in great form after his runner-up at Augusta. He was also T-10th at the Arnold Palmer. Cam Smith has a couple top-20 finishes in his last couple of events. Chris Kirk didn’t qualify for The Masters, but had a couple top 10s at Bay Hill and TPC San Antonio.

Charley Hoffman was the runner-up in Texas and had a couple top-20 finishes in Florida prior to that. Ancer has three straight top-30 finishes, so he’s played well of late.
<h3><strong><u>Picks &amp; Handicap</u></strong></h3>
I’ll be looking down the board a little bit here. Ian Poulter at 60/1 is probably my favorite play. Poulter ranks fourth on tour in Scrambling and that’s a big part of the game here at Harbour Town. He’s had some recent success and is tied for 21st in driving accuracy. His iron play has been a major issue, but he’s comfortable here and he’s scrambled well enough to make up for it.

Here’s a bomb price for you. Chez Reavie is +22500. He’s 10th in driving accuracy and ninth in SG: Approach. The wedges have let him down, but this is a shorter course with less emphasis on distance, so I’d think he could hit more GIR this week.

Chris Kirk isn’t a bad bet here at +6600. He’s in good form and comes in 38th in SG: Approach and 18th in Scrambling.

Take some shots in this tournament.

Coverage of the RBC Heritage will be on Golf Channel and CBS this week.
