See the White Sox vs Royals Matchup Preview and Score Prediction - Tuesday September 22nd, 2026

-115O/U: 8.5
(+100/-120)-105

Anthony Kay – Over/Under 13.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
Taking into account both his underlying tendencies and the matchup, Anthony Kay is projected to throw 70 pitches today by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) system, which is the 4th-least on the slate.
Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
Tommy Pham – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)
Tommy Pham has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (57% of the time), but he is projected to hit 2nd in the lineup in this game.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
Brenton Doyle – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
Brenton Doyle hits many of his flyballs to center field (39% — 92nd percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards MLB’s 4th-deepest CF fences in today’s matchup.
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Daniel Lynch – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
The Chicago White Sox have 8 hitters in the projected offense that will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Daniel Lynch IV in this matchup.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Jac Caglianone – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
Jac Caglianone has seen a notable improvement in his exit velocity this year; just compare his 93-mph average to last season’s 89.4-mph mark.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
The Kansas City Royals have been the 8th-unluckiest offense in the majors this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to perform better in the future
Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
