The New York Yankees (59-55) and Chicago White Sox (46-69) close out a 3-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field Wednesday. First pitch is at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: White Sox lead 3-2
The Yankees took Game 2 of the series Tuesday night 7-1. They are just 9-11 over the last 20 games and find themselves 11 1/2 games out in the AL East and 4 1/2 out of an AL Wild Card spot. There is still time, but they need to put teams like the White Sox away.
The White Sox had a 3-game winning streak snapped Tuesday and have just 6 wins in the last 20 games. They are a marginally tougher team at home at 24-30 as opposed to 22-39 on the road but have played the Yankees tough over the last 2 years, splitting 12 games.

Yankees at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 6, White Sox 3
Moneyline
The Yankees have a few options on the mound Wednesday. It’s Severino’s turn in the rotation, but they have considered skipping his turn and going with a bullpen game as they have a day off Thursday and can get him and the bullpen extra rest.
They could also call up prospect RHP Randy Vasquez, but he’s expected to take LHP Carlos Rodon‘s vacated spot. Either way, the Yanks get it done Wednesday. OF Aaron Judge is 3-for-6 with a solo homer and 4 walks in this series, and he’s 3-for-9 with a home run in his career vs. Clevinger.
I’ll take the YANKEES (-120).
Run line/Against the spread
The Yanks are 28-23 on the RL on the road, which is saying something in their down year. All 4 of the Yanks’ wins in their last games 10 vs. the Chi Sox have been by multiple runs. I think New York runs away with it on getaway day.
Take the YANKEES -1.5 (+135).

Over/Under
The Over is just 2-8 in the last 10 games between these teams, and the Under is 4-1 this season between them. The Yankees are 4-6 O/U over the last 10, and the White Sox are 2-7-1. If this number wasn’t 9, I would go one way or another.
However, I have to PASS on this one.
