White Sox vs Yankees Prediction
The New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox will conclude their three-game set with a doubleheader this Thursday in the Bronx from Yankee Stadium on YES. Chicago controlled game one and held on to win by one, 3-2.
White Sox Betting Preview
Chicago enters at 27-35 after defeating New York. The White Sox struck first with the rare opening road victory to match their longest win steak of the season, and they’ll look to build on that here. The Chicago offense is 4.72 scoring runs per game, while batting .238, with a .306 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 5.72 ERA, with a 1.21 WHIP. Andrew Vaughn has a hit in eight of the last ten games, and he leads the Sox in RBI (39). Luis Robert Jr. has multiple hits in his last two games, and first on the team in homers (13) and runs scored (39). Andrew Benintendi has collected a hit in four of the last five games, and he leads the team in batting at .272
Lance Lynn (0-3, 7.52 ERA, 28 Ks) will get the call in Game 1 for Chicago. The veteran hurler has been a headache this season early on. Prior to being bullied by Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and company for eight runs in his last outing, Lynn tossed three straight quality starts to close May, and he won each decision. It should be interesting to see how he fares in Fat Joe’s neighborhood up in The Bronx this Thursday.
Mike Clevinger (3-3, 4.13 ERA, 26 Ks) will get the ball in Game 2 for Chicago. The eighth-year righty pitched his third scoreless outing of the season last week against Detroit, striking out six in five innings of work. Clevinger has struggled away from the Windy City this season, and he’s given up three or more runs in his last four road spots.
Yankees Betting Preview
New York moved to 36-26 after falling to Chicago. The Yankees will 7look to avenge a game one loss here, as a different, yet much more familiar group of Sox is set to visit this weekend. The New York offense is scoring 3.92 runs per game, while batting .239, with a .313 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.87 ERA, with a 1.25 WHIP. As Giancarlo Stanton finally returned to the lineup with a homer in the Dodgers’ series, Aaron Judge will now miss time with an injury. The Yanks can’t catch a break right now, but they still have their glue in Anthony Rizzo. The former Cub is leading the team in hits (63), with strong splits of .289/11/32. Gleyber Torres is hitless over his last three after enjoying a twelve-game hit streak.
Lou Severino (0-1, 5.28 ERA, 12 Ks) will take the mound for New York in game one. The eighth-year righty was roughed up by the Dodgers last week, surrendering seven runs in just four innings of work. Severino pitched much better in his lone start in the Bronx this season against San Diego, and he’ll look to bounce back here.
Randy Vasquez (0-1, 3.86 ERA, 6 Ks) will be the Yanks’ game two starter. This will mark the rookie righty’s second appearance in the majors, after holding his own in a start against San Diego last month. Vasquez struck out six in 4.2 innings pitched, and he’ll seek more success against the Sox here.
Chicago vs New York Trends
Chicago is 22-33 against the spread this season, with a 31-22-3 O/U record. New York is 34-23 ATS this year, with a 27-27-3 over/under record.
Corey’s Free Pick G1:
Chicago comes into this double-header with slight advantages in both matchups, but I refuse to lean on Lance Lynn at a big venue. The former All-Star has been a shell of himself, and it’s just hard to trust what he’s going to go out and do right now. Lou Severino hasn’t done much to warrant trust either, and I like both lineup’s finding production off of the opposing starters, and it should show on the scoreboard. A lot of wild cards headed into the first contest, with nature being the biggest factor, but back the Over for this matchup.
Corey’s Free Pick G2:
Mike Clevinger might just be the best pitcher of the four guys set to go Thursday, and with Aaron Judge set to miss this series, I think the visitors will sneak around in this one. Chicago comes in at relatively full strength lineup wise, and if they give Clevinger the run support, they may be able to pull this one off. Spot Chicago the runs in game two.
