Season series: New York leads 4-1

Run line/Against the spread
New York is 4-1 across its last 5 series finales. Chicago has a minus-80 run differential over its 2-25 stretch.
Martin was solid enough in his last turn but draws a much tougher offensive foe in this one. Peg Monday’s Chicago win — a 12-2 rout by the White Sox — as the series wake-up call for the Yankees.
NEW YORK -1.5 (-165) is worth a partial-unit play.
Over/Under
Almost no lean here. Actual vs. expected run-scoring and run-prevention numbers on both sides crisscross the value line.
On the theory the pitching offers up no brand-name value and on an evening with a breeze in the batter’s face in the forecast, consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 9.5 (+100).
