New York Yankees Betting Analysis
The Yankees keep playing good baseball. They have bounced back from a shaky start to the season and now lead the AL East.
Aaron Judge has played like an MVP as of late, and Nestor Cortes could very well be the All-Star game starter. New York features stars up and down their roster, making them one of baseball’s most difficult teams to navigate through.
However, heading to Chicago to take on the White Sox in a four-game series will not be easy. Chicago has played well as of late and could slam the brakes on New York’s momentum.
The Yankees will roll with Luis Gil on Thursday. Gil has MLB experience, but this will be his first outing of the 2022 campaign. He will be tasked with giving the Yankees 4-5 solid innings against the Sox.
If he provides anything better than that, it would be icing on the cake for manager Aaron Boone.
Chicago White Sox Betting Analysis
The White Sox have lost just once in their past eight games. They are playing quality baseball, and their offense is finally starting to figure things out. Chicago’s lineup still ranks near the bottom of the league in most categories, but it may not be that way for much longer.
But the story of the 2022 White Sox has revolved around their strong pitching. They are near the top of most pitching statistics as a team between their starting rotation and bullpen. Lucas Giolitio recently led Chicago to a win with a strong start.
The team’s pitching has been the main reason why they are over .500.
Chicago will hand the ball to Dylan Cease (3-1, 2.38) on Thursday evening. The right-hander has been one of the filthiest pitchers in baseball and could find success against the Yankees at home. If he can go 5-6 innings of 2-3 run baseball, Chicago would take it.

NeYankees at White Sox Betting Preview
This has the makings of a good game. The Yankees lineup will look to provide plenty of run support for their young starter on the mound. But very few teams have been able to find any success against Dyland Cease.
Chicago’s lineup could be in store for a huge performance against New York’s Luis Gil. But Gil is a solid pitcher and could also hold his own.
In the end, I like the White Sox in this game. But expect a competitive contest that might not get decided until the late innings.
Yankees at White Sox Betting Prediction
According to the MLB betting trends, the best bet is to take the Chicago White Sox -1.5.
How to Bet on Yankees at White Sox
The White Sox are listed as the 1.5-point favorites according to MLB odds. New York’s pitching matchup edge and home field advantage make them a clear favorite in this ballgame. But as aforementioned, New York has played some of the best baseball in the league.
I believe the White Sox will take care of business but it won’t be easy.
