MLB odds: White Sox vs. Yankees prediction, odds, pick, and more

The Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees are playing a three-game set in the Bronx starting on Friday night. Chicago currently holds the best record in American League at 26-16. New york is climbing its way up the AL East with a record of 24-19.

The White Sox are currently second in the American League and at the top of the MLB Power Rankings. Tim Anderson is hitting .307 with five home runs and seven stolen bases. Carlos Rodon is 5-1 with a 1.47 ERA on the young season. Roden is coming off his worst start of this season against the Kansas City Royals.

Jordan Montgomery will start for the Yankees against the White Sox. DJ LeMahieu is hitting .304 with five RBI over his team's last seven games. New York's pitching staff has been impressive this season. The Yankees are allowing the fourth-fewest runs per game in the league. Montgomery is 2-1 with a 4.75 ERA on the young season and has shown flashes of brilliance this year.

Both teams have been playing well of late. New York is at home and has been dealing over the past few weeks. The Yankees are the dog despite their recent success against the AL Central. I'm riding with the better bullpen to come away victorious in the first game of this series.

The New York Yankees are the favorite to beat the White Sox.
