White Sox at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 4, White Sox 2
Moneyline
PASS.
New York (-270) is very hot, having won 4 straight and going 8-2 in its last 10 games, so I expect the Yankees to win here. However, a -270 favorite is not worth the risk of betting on, so bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN YANKEES -1.5 (-122).
New York is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games and is 8-2 straight-up in its last 10. The Yankees are also 24-21 ATS this year while the White Sox are 22-22 on the season.
This is a very slight lean as Chicago is 6-2 in its last 8 games and is 6-2 in its last 8 matchups vs. New York.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 8 (-120).
The Under has hit in 3 consecutive games for the Yankees and hit in their last home game. For Chicago, the Under has hit in back-to-back games and is 7-3 in its last 10 games. The Under has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Chicago-New York matchups, being 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
