Chicago White Sox: Form and Statistics

The Chicago White Sox are struggling and finding it difficult to win games. In recent series, this team has not had much luck and it is not surprising where they sit in the standings.

However, that was their second series win this season, with the first coming against the Boston Red Sox in mid April. 

In this series, the Chicago White Sox have now lost three games. In fact, they have only shown more defensive performances, conceding only fewer runs. In the third game yesterday, this team could only score in the last inning which was not enough to turn the tables after they conceded two runs in the fifth inning.

Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox Match Prediction 08 May 2025

The Chicago White Sox look so lost at the moment, and it is not surprising how poor they have been. As a team, the Kansas City Royals have been much better and they have shown that in their performances in this fixture. While the Kansas City Royals have won three of the first four games of this fixture, it is just difficult to see them lose here. On the other hand, the Chicago White Sox have had some serious performances in the last two games, losing by only one run, while conceding only two in their last game yesterday. This is a tough game to predict, but I feel the Kansas City Royals are in a better position heading into this finale and should get the job done with ease. However, the first three games of this fixture have ended with few runs, and the same can be expected as the Chicago White Sox keep putting more effort on defensive play.
