Yankees at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 4, White Sox 3
Moneyline
Chicago went just 3-9 across 12 home games in July, but the club has had solid stretches in its home park. From April 30-June 25, the Pale Hose went a robust 17-11 at home. They are playing just their 2nd series at home since the second half got underway.
Playing under their expected win percentage up through the end of July, the Sox have been a lean in recent games. But that angle may be dulling now, and this is not the best pitching match-ups to leverage it much further. A Chicago (+135) line would be intriguing. But a PASS is suggested unless the line drifts that far.

Over/Under
The righty-righty mound match-up works against both offenses. And both are second-division units at their core.
Since July 1, New York has registered a .647 OPS on the road. The bullpens are in decent shape heading into this game.
In Chicago home games, the Under has gone 29-22-2. The total has gone Under in 8 of Chicago’s last 10 games. And the Under has hit 5 of the last 6 Yankees-White Sox games.
The UNDER 9 (-115) is the lean. Check out FanDuel Sportsbook for better leverage on this play — they tag this one as UNDER 9 (-105).
