Chicago White Sox vs Kansas City Royals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/10/26

The offenses for both the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals enter Friday night’s matchup at Kauffman Stadium struggling to find a groove early on in 2026. The White Sox are expected to be among the worst lineups in baseball all season long, and so far this season they rank 25th in runs scored, 27th in batting average, and 29th in OPS. Kansas City starting pitcher Kris Bubic has seen success against Chicago in his career, holding the White Sox to a .202 batting average and owning a strong 2.30 ERA through 54.2 career innings against them. Look for Bubic to hold the White Sox in check.

On the other side, the Royals enter this matchup after being to just 5 hits in a 2-0 loss to the White Sox on Thursday night. Kansas City has now scored just 3 total runs over its last 3 games. Furthermore, the Royals have been held to 3 runs or fewer in 4 of their 7 home games. Chicago starter Davis Martin has faced the Royals 5 times in his career, and he owns a solid 2.67 ERA to go along with a 1.00 WHIP over the course of 27.0 innings. Given the way these offenses are struggling to start the season, the under is the play in this AL Central matchup.
