Royals vs White Sox MLB Home Run Pick
Munetaka Murakami has been one of the best HR hitters in the league this season, if not the best, and this is a great spot.
Stephen Kolek is just a slightly above-average matchup for lefty power, but the wind in Chicago will be howling, blowing out to right field at 20 mph.
I have the true odds here around +250, making this a great bet.
Pick: Munetaka Murakami 1+ Home Runs (+375, bet365)
