Yankees vs. White Sox Analysis
Yankees’ Pitching Boost: Cole’s Impact on Odds and Wins
Gerrit Cole is going to throw for the New York Yankees. Gerrit is the Yankees ace and has been outstanding, especially as of late. Cole has thrown 26.1 innings over his last four starts and allowed just 14 hits and five runs.
The pitcher has struck out 34 batters during that time and walked just 4. Cole is 10-2 on the season with a 2.64 ERA. Anytime Cole pitches he gives the New York Yankees odds a good boost.
Gleybar Torres got the scoring started in the loss on Sunday with his 18th home run of the season. Later, the Yankees battled back from down 5-1 with RBIs from Harrison Bader, Anthony Volpe, Jake Bauers, and Aaron Judge. But, from that point, the pitching failed them.
Torres has been hot as of late and has turned into one of the better hitters for the Yankees. He is hitting .270 after his three hits on Sunday. Aaron Judge is up to .280, while Giancarlo Stanton has not fared well, with his .208 on the season.
Overall, New York has not seen bad pitching. The Yankees came into Sunday’s game with the 10th-best earned run average and 5th-best WHIP in Major League Baseball. Opponents are hitting just .231 against the Yankees, which is the 2nd best in all of baseball.
Dylan Cease’s Tough Outing: Analyzing His Last Start
The Chicago White Sox game today will feature their ace in this game. Dylan Cease will go. Cease is 4-5 on the season, with a 4.61 earned run average. The right-hander has struck out 144 batters over 121 innings this season. His last start was a tough one, as he only recorded five outs and allowed seven hits and seven runs at Texas.
Chicago has won back-to-back games, but before that, dropped five straight games. The White Sox had some excitement in the win on Saturday with Tim Anderson getting into a fight with Jose Ramirez. Then, on Sunday, Chicago scored to tie the game with a Cleveland Guardians error, and then Elvis Andrus gave them a lead with a base hit driving in two runs.
The White Sox are led by Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert offensively. Robert has smashed 30 home runs and drove in 62 runs, with a batting average of .270. Robert also picked up his first triple of the season on Sunday. Benintendi is the top hitter with a .278 average. The White Sox are starting a six-game home stand, with the Brewers coming to town next. The White Sox are then at the Chicago Cubs on August 15th and 16th.
