Analyzing Friday’s Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (14-30) and New York Yankees (30-15) open a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is set for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Chicago won 4-2 last season

Chicago beat the Washington Nationals 2-0 while covering as a -165 home favorite Wednesday. LHP Garrett Crochet picked up the win (5 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 6 K) as the White Sox have won back-to-back games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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.

Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees Game 1 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago White Sox (27-35) and New York Yankees (36-26) meet for a doubleheader Thursday as they wrap up a truncated 3-game series. First pitch for Game 1 from Yankee Stadium is set for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: White Sox lead 1-0

The Wednesday night game between the White Sox and Yankees was postponed due to the air quality in New York City because of Canadian wildfires. N.Y. Governor Kathy Hochul called the worsening air quality “an emergency crisis.” Game 2 of the doubleheader will be the makeup for Wednesday’s game.

The White Sox won their 4th straight game on Tuesday night, 3-2 against the Yankees in the Bronx. Chicago has held their opponents to a total of 5 runs in the current win streak. They are in 4th place, just 4 games back of the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins.

New York returned home to the Bronx after going 4-2 on their 6-game road trip to Seattle and Los Angeles. They sit in 3rd place, 8 games back of the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays.

White Sox at Yankees starters

RHP Lance Lynn vs. RHP Luis Severino

White Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 8, Yankees 6

Moneyline

BET WHITE SOX (+145)

I do not love Lynn’s form coming into this matchup, but Severino has not looked sharp since returning in late May. Lance’s ERA is more than 2 points lower on the road (5.50) than at home (7.64). I’m going to ride this White Sox winning streak on the moneyline.

Run line/Against the spread

AVOID.

No need to put down nearly 1 1/2 units on Chicago with plus-money on the moneyline.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

PASS.

I’m avoiding the bet, but would lean to the Over because I know both of these pitchers are more than capable of putting together ace-like performances despite their collective ERAs.

Severino went 6 2/3 IP in his lone home start this season, allowing just 1 ER against the San Diego Padres on May 27.

The Chicago White Sox (27-35) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the New York Yankees (36-26) on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

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.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-120) is the lean in this matchup with Lynn struggling and Vasquez making just his 2nd career start. The Yankees are 5-3 to the Over in their last 8 games overall.

Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees Game 2 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (19-20) wrap up their 3-game series at the New York Yankees (29-10) in Game 2 of a doubleheader on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is set for 7:08 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

(Team records and stats are through Saturday – pre-doubleheader).

Friday’s White Sox-Yankees meeting was rained out, which led to Sunday’s doubleheader. New York beat Chicago 7-5 in the series opener Saturday as Yankees 3B D.J. LeMahieu did the brunt of the damage with a 2nd inning grand slam.

N.Y. leads the season series with Chicago 4-1 entering Sunday and the Yankees have a plus-19 run differential in those meetings.

White Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Michael Kopech vs. RHP Luis Severino

Kopech is 0-1 with a 1.54 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 4.4 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 in 35 IP over 7 starts.

  • Last start: Loss, 5-1, at home vs. the Yankees last Sunday with 6 IP, 3 ER, 1 H, 4 BB and 3 K.
  • vs. Yankees on the current roster: 6.78 FIP with a .264/.380/.513 expected batting average (xBA), wOBA (xwOBA) and slugging percentage (xSLG) slash line, 16.7 K% and 90.6 mph exit velocity (EV) in 36 plate appearances (PA).

Severino is 3-0 with a 3.63 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 in 34 2/3 IP over 7 starts.

  • Last start: Win, 6-2, Monday at the Baltimore Orioles with 6 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 1 HR, 2 BB and 7 K.
  • vs. White Sox on the current roster: 2.96 FIP with a .234/.262/.383 xBA-xwOBA-xSLG slash line, 37.8 K% and 87.5 mph EV in 37 PA.

White Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, White Sox 3

Money line

BET the YANKEES (-170) because they have decisive edges over the White Sox in hitting and relief pitching. Both starting righties have good stuff but N.Y. performs much better vs. right-handed pitching.

The Yankees are 21-6 overall against righty starters and their lineup ranks in the top-four of wRC+ (122), wOBA (.332), BB/K (0.50) and hard-hit rate (33.7%) vs. right-handed pitching, per FanGraphs.

Whereas the White Sox are 14-16 vs. righty starters and their lineup is 27th in wRC+ (83) and 28th in wOBA (.227), BB/K rate (0.29) and hard-hit rate (26.1%) against right-handed pitching.

N.Y.’s bullpen has the second-best ERA in baseball and the pitching peripherals to support it while Chicago’s has regressed since last season and is a mediocre unit.

N.Y. is 9-2 vs. Chicago since the start of 2021 and Saturday’s series opener featured a bench-clearing over beef between Yankees 3B Josh Donaldson and White Sox C Yasmani Grandal and SS Tim Anderson.

BET the YANKEES (-170) because they’ll have maximum motivation for this nationally televised game against a White Sox team they are beefing with.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN YANKEES -1.5 (+120) based on the previous analysis and because they are 10-9 RL as home favorites and N.Y. has beaten the White Sox by at least 2 runs in 6 of their last 7 meetings.

However, N.Y.’s ML is the preferred wager hence the LEAN to the YANKEES -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

Slight LEAN UNDER 8.5 (+105) only because the Yankees are 5-2 O/U in Severino’s 7 starts and the weather forecast is predicting nearly 20 mph winds blowing out to right-centerfield and both lineups have sluggers.

However, the Under has cashed in 5 of the last 6 White Sox-Yankees meetings in New York, both starters could throw a quality start and Chicago is 1-8-1 O/U in the last 10 games vs. righty starters.

Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (19-19) and New York Yankees (28-10) swing into Yankee Stadium Friday to start a 3-game series. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Yankees lead 3-1.

The White Sox and Yankees are playing for a second straight weekend. New York took 3-of-4 games in Chicago last Thursday-Sunday. The Yanks outscored the Pale Hose 32-15 in that set.

The Yankees’ pitching has been dialed in during the club’s consistent assault on foes so far. New York’s 2.86 ERA ranks 2nd in the league.

White Sox at Yankees projected starters

LHP Dallas Keuchel vs. LHP Nestor Cortes

Keuchel (2-3, 5.54 ERA) has posted a 1.96 WHIP, 5.2 BB/9 and 5.5 K/9 through 26 IP across 6 starts.

  • Owns a combined 5.31 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 2021-22.
  • Pitched 5 scoreless innings against New York Saturday in his last start.
  • Has held current Yankees to an aggregate .710 OPS in his career.

  • Has not allowed more than 2 runs in any start this season.
  • Has benefited from a .227 batting average on balls in play.

White Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, White Sox 5

Money line

Keuchel’s recent starts have been solid and he has a decent history against New York. The White Sox are at their best against lefty pitching, and the expected right lean of their lineup plays into the lesser splits of the Yankee bullpen.

Still, the Yanks are in a bit of a no-fade cloud. Consider perhaps a partial-unit play on CHICAGO (+180).

Run line/Against the spread

Should the CHICAGO +1.5 (-112) run-line tag swing down to -105 range, it would become the primary side.

Over/Under

Both bullpens could use a day off. Chicago’s 3.55 runs per game are lower than what was projected in the preseason, and quality-of-contact numbers would point to some bad luck so far.

Both offenses are at their best against lefty pitchers.

TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (-115). It’s the strongest play for this series opener.

  • Money line: White Sox +120 (bet $100 to win $120) | Yankees -145 (bet $145 to win $100)

  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Yankees 5, White Sox 3

Money line (ML)

Despite having to lay it with New York, there is some value in the YANKEES (-145) because they are starting to play like the American League favorite everyone expected them to be, and the advanced pitching metrics favor Taillon.

For instance, since falling below .500, this is New York’s seventh straight series win, and they’re 1.5 games back of the Boston Red Sox in the AL East.

Also, this hasn’t been the start Taillon was hoping to have in Pinstripes. But there are signs of progression coming, and his Statcast numbers are slightly above-average.

Taillon’s xFIP and SIERA are lower than his ERA, and those metrics are better indicators of a pitcher’s true form than the dated ERA stat. He also grades in the 64th percentile or better in whiff rate, chase rate and K%.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS because Chicago is still one of the best three teams in the AL, Keuchel has always pitched well against the Yankees dating back to his time with the Houston Astros, and New York’s lineup is still middling in production.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 9 (+100) for a one-third unit because I’m expecting Taillon to keep the momentum as he picked up his first win in his last outing and needs to stack quality outings to keep his spot in the rotation.

Furthermore, Keuchel’s numbers vs. this Yankees lineup are terrific, and his biggest nemesis on the Yankees isn’t even in the lineup.

Giancarlo Stanton is sidelined with a quadriceps injury. Stanton has a lifetime .444 batting average with two home runs and five RBIs vs. Keuchel.

Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (26-17) and the New York Yankees (26-19) continue their three-game set Saturday in Yankee Stadium at 1:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Astros vs. Rangers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

New York won its fourth straight and the first game of the series, 2-1, in what was an awesome starting pitcher’s duel that Yankees 2B Gleyber Torres disrupted by going 2-for-4 with a game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the 7th then a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 9th.

Season series: Yankees 1-0.

RHP Dylan Cease is on the mound for the White Sox. Cease is 2-0 with a 2.41 ERA (41 IP, 11 ER), 1.22 WHIP, 4.4 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 over eight starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision in 5 2/3 IP with 0 ER, 3 H, 3 BB and 3 K in Chicago’s 4-3 win Sunday vs. the Kansas City Royals.
  • Career vs. the Yankees: No appearances.

RHP Gerrit Cole makes his 10th start for the Yankees. Cole is 5-2 with a 2.03 ERA (57 2/3 IP, 13 ER), 0.78 WHIP, 0.8 BB/9 and 13.3 K/9 this season.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5-2, in 5 IP with 5 ER, 7 H, 2 BB and 7 K at the Texas Rangers Monday.
  • Career vs. the White Sox: 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA (12 IP, 8 ER), 1.17 WHIP and 8.3 K/9 across two starts (last start was in 2019).
    • Vs. White Sox on the current roster: 83 at-bats with a .289/.337/.506 slash line, 23/6 K/BB, 4 HR and 7 RBIs.

  • Over/Under: 7.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Yankees 6, White Sox 2

Money line (ML)

PASS even though New York is the right side and has one of the three best pitchers in all of baseball on the hill because the Yankees (-200) is just out of my price range.

Also, the White Sox have hit Cole well in the two times they’ve faced him; however, given Cole’s rough outing earlier this week vs. the lowly Rangers, he should be dialed in for this meeting against an AL Central-leading White Sox.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Cole’s record is far worse than it should be considering he’s leading the majors with a 1.64 FIP (fielder independent pitching), which is a far better indicator of how a pitcher is performing than your standard ERA.

And while Cease’s stuff has been electric to start the year, Cole is expected to be a Cy Young finalist and the Yankees should do enough against Cease to get their ace another W.

Since both lineups and bullpens are among the top units in baseball, but Cole is the difference maker in this handicap, I’m BETTING the YANKEES -0.5 (-125) FIRST 5 INNINGS for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 7.5 (-110) for a quarter unit if at all because I’m leery of fading these talented lineups, but the Yankees have scored just two runs in four of their last five games and have scored three or fewer runs in six of Cole’s nine previous starts.

Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (26-16) will take on the New York Yankees (25-19) Friday night to kick off a three-game series. First pitch from Yankee Stadium will be at 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Carlos Rodon is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. He is 5-1 with a 1.47 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 12.0 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 36 2/3 IP over 6 starts.

Rodon has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. He’s allowed just six earned runs in his last five starts, four of which came in his most recent outing against the Kansas City Royals Saturday. In six career starts against the Yankees, Rodon is 3-3 with a 5.34 ERA.

LHP Jordan Montgomery is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 2-1 with a 4.75 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 41 2/3 IP over 8 starts.

In Montgomery’s last start, he pitched just three innings, allowing five runs on six hits with four strikeouts. He’s allowed three or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, however. Montgomery is 2-0 in two starts against the White Sox in his career, posting a 2.77 ERA.

  • Money line: White Sox -105 (bet $105 to win $100) | Yankees -115 (bet $115 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: White Sox -1.5 (+155) | Yankees +1.5 (-190)
  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Yankees 4, White Sox 2

Money line (ML)

The Yankees have won three straight, taking three out of four from the Rangers. They’ve won six straight series to get their season back on track, doing it with some great pitching; they shut out Texas in the last two games.

The White Sox are also playing well and have won 10 of their last 13 games. Even with Rodon on the mound, I like the YANKEES (-115) to win this one with their left-handed bats against the lefty.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Both the Yankees and White Sox are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games, though the White Sox have been better all season with a 23-19 ATS record.

The Yankees have been on the road for their last 10 games, however, so they’ll be making a long-awaited return home.

I like the YANKEES +1.5 (-190), though, with the line somewhat chalky, I would only make it a small wager.

Over/Under (O/U)

Rodon is a stud and has been sharp as of late, with the White Sox winning four of his last five starts with their opponents scoring just 11 total runs in that span.

But Montgomery has pitched well against Chicago in his two career starts and has held his opponents to three or fewer earned runs in four of his last five.

I like the UNDER 8 (-110) tonight.
