Season series: White Sox lead 1-0
The White Sox defeated the Yankees 3-2 on Tuesday to extend their win streak to 4 games. Chicago is now 4 1/2 games back of the Minnesota Twins for 1st place in the AL Central.
The Yankees tallied only 3 hits Tuesday as OF Aaron Judge missed a 2nd straight game and headed to the injured list due to a toe injury. RHP Randy Vasquez is expected to make his 2nd career start Wednesday as New York works around injuries to its rotation.

White Sox at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 6, White Sox 4
Moneyline
Even with Judge sidelined for New York, I’ll side with the YANKEES (-140) at home on Wednesday. The White Sox are 11-20 on the road compared to the Yankees being 19-14 at home this season.
Run line/Against the spread
The YANKEES -1.5 (+145) is a solid value with how poor Lynn has pitched so far this season. Lynn has a 3.24 HR/9 and .461 wOBA to left-handed batters this season, and the Yankees will run out a few of them Wednesday.
