Yankees at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 6, Yankees 5

Moneyline

The WHITE SOX (+260) took 2 of 3 from New York in the Yanks’ last visit to Chicago’s South Side (Aug. 7-9, 2023). New York is just 13-17 against left-handed starters.

This line has steamed toward the visiting nine in the morning, and the plus price on the Pale Hose is just ripe enough to pick. But consider this one a sliver of a lean, and with a Bush being a 2nd-time starter, this one sets up as a conservative partial-unit play.

Gil threw 107 pitches in his last start. His only other 100-plus outing came on June 14, and the start after that saw him yield 7 runs in 1 1/3 innings.

TAKE CHICAGO (+260).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: Against a mediocre Yankee bullpen, the White Sox are worth the shot at big plus money on the ML.

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in 13 of New York’s last 16 games and in 7 straight on the road.

Gil has benefited from a favorable .232 batting average on balls in play. Bush is in for a different level opponent after pitching mostly in Double-A and then facing the A’s in his MLB debut.
