In a series that hasn’t exactly gone the White Sox’ way thus far, the South Siders will look to get a series split against the Royals this afternoon. Dylan Cease will take the hill in this afternoon’s effort against Brady Singer, while Jose Abreu will look to continue his #MVPito ways after homering last night as the only form of White Sox’ offense. Hopefully, a sunny day on the South Side will help warm up these bats.
White Sox (23-15) vs. Royals (18-21)
