Martin Carrying the White Sox Rotation

Martin is 2-0 through two starts and it's not a fluke. His last outing: six scoreless innings against Toronto, four hits, two walks, six strikeouts, 85 pitches. Efficient. The ERA sits at 2.45 with 12 strikeouts and four walks across 11 innings. 

Chicago is hitting .204 with 10 home runs. Munetaka Murakami leads the team with four homers and seven RBI while batting .195. Miguel Vargas has seven RBI. Chase Meidroth leads the team in batting at .244. The White Sox have a badly depleted lineup; Austin Hays, Kyle Teel, and Everson Pereira are all on the injured list, but they beat Kansas City 2-0 yesterday and are 2-3 in their last five.

Bubic Dealing With Command Issues Early

Bubic had a real breakout in 2025. Went 8-7, 2.55 ERA in 20 starts before a left rotator cuff strain ended his season in July. Made the All-Star team. Looked like a different pitcher than the one who went 3-13 with a 5.58 ERA back in 2022. His first start of 2026 was solid. He defeated Minnesota, limited them to one homer. Then the walks crept in. Six walks in 11 innings across two starts, and he's allowed two home runs with an ERA of 4.09.

Kansas City is hitting .227 with 11 home runs. Maikel Garcia leads the team at .320 with a .397 OBP. Jonathan India has eight RBI despite batting .189. Carter Jensen has three homers and six RBI. The Royals are 5-8 and have lost three straight.

White Sox vs Royals Pick

The Royals are -181 at home against a team with the same exact record. Martin is pitching better than Bubic right now and Chicago already beat Kansas City yesterday. Six walks in 11 innings from Bubic and a White Sox lineup that barely hits? Pass on Kansas City at that price.
