Yankees at White Sox predictions and best bets: Gerrit Cole, Yankees lineup to take care of business on Friday night

The Yankees are the overwhelming favorites in the American League showdown against Chicago. Gerrit Cole will start for New York, while Vince Velasquez will take the mound for Chicago on Friday. The Yankees have won 15 of their last 17 games. Chicago has been better recently, but it still has questions to answer. A $17.50 bet on the Yankees money line would return $10.00, whereas a $15 bet for the White Sox would bring a profit of $150.000. Total is 8, with odds of approximately -110 in each direction.
