White Sox vs Royals MLB Betting Preview
White Sox vs Royals Pick, Betting Analysis
By Derek Carty
THE BAT X is forecasting 0.77 hits for White Sox outfielder Tommy Pham compared to 0.92 hits implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value here.
If you take the under, you'd be projected to win 45% of the time, resulting in a 19% ROI. Based on a $100 wager, the expected value here would be $19.32. This play is good down to at least +146.
Pick: Tommy Pham Under 0.5 Hits (+167, DraftKings)
