White Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, White Sox 4

Even though the Yankees (-175) are expected to win at home on Tuesday, I’ll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds in what I think should be a close game.

WHITE SOX +1.5 (-135) is the pick in this game with how Chicago has performed recently. While Schmidt has pitched better in recent starts, the White Sox are amid a 3-game win streak.

OVER 8.5 (-115) is the lean in this AL matchup with Giolito and Schmidt recording hard-hit rates of 40% or higher and allowing barrel rates of 9.8% or higher.

The White Sox are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 road games and the Yankees are 5-2 to the Over in their last 7 games overall.
