Recent Scores
The White Sox came away with a 3-2 win in game 1 of this series. They were able to do so behind an impressive start from Lucas Giolito. The bullpen also was able to come in and dominate.
That improved the White Sox to 27-35 on the season as the Chicago White Sox standings still see them four games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins in the American League Central.
Before this loss for the Yankees, the last New York Yankees score saw them come away with an impressive 4-1 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers as they won two out of three in Los Angeles. The Yankees’ ability to limit runs in Los Angeles was a major positive for this team. Domingo German and others threw well.
New York is currently 36-26 and eight games behind the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East. Because of how well the American League East has played this season, every game matters on the MLB schedule for the Yankees this season.
Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees Betting Analysis
Yankees Lost Aaron Judge
The New York Yankees come into this one playing some impressive baseball throughout the past few weeks, but things might start to look different for this team. They have questions that they’re not going to need to answer as Aaron Judge is out for the foreseeable future. He’s been their top offensive player this season. And the Yankees are going to need to find somebody to pick them up.
Outside of that, the Yankees have swung the bats well this season, for the most part. They currently have the fourth most home runs in baseball with 96 and one of the best slugging percentages in the league at .420. Can the Yankees do enough offensively to justify taking them in our White Sox vs Yankees betting?
Can Chicago Win The AL Central?
The Chicago White Sox have been one of the most disappointing teams in baseball this season. That’s because of their inability to get anything going on either side of the ball. The Chicago White Sox come into this one with a below-average slugging percentage at .387, a batting average of 239, and 63 home runs, which ranks them 20th in the league. The MLB standings haven’t been kind to the White Sox this season.
If they’re not going to figure that out on the offensive side of the ball, they’re not going to find much success this season. The pitching hasn’t been good enough for them to get by on not hitting much.
Lance Lynn is going to get the start for the White Sox, and while his MLB player stats in the past have been some of the best in baseball, they’re not looking too good this year. He comes in with a 6.55 ERA and gave up eight earned runs against the Los Angeles Angels in just four innings in his last outing. He’s going to be the reason why we back the Yankees in our White Sox vs Yankees betting.
Key Injuries
There are two huge updates heading into this game. The MLB injury report isn’t looking great for the New York Yankees, as Aaron Judge has now joined the IL and is expected to be out for longer than a month. There are also some other unfortunate things going on, as the game could possibly be postponed once again due to the air quality.
Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees Betting Preview
With the Yankees coming in as a -170 favorite, taking them there might not be a bad idea. They also can have value at -1.5 for +120 in MLB odds.
With this game being played in New York and not pitching well this season, the Yankees are one of the best MLB picks of the day.
Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees Betting Prediction
The White Sox vs Yankee betting is going to be taking the Yankees on the moneyline. Despite having to play worst value than the run line, it’s a safer bet here and seems to be the right pick.
These were two of the best MLB teams throughout the past few years, so it has the chance to be an interesting matchup.
