Chicago White Sox vs New York Yankees. Considering the pitching matchup and the uncertainties surrounding the Yankees’ starting pitcher, the Chicago White Sox are the favored pick for this game. Lance Lynn’s performance throughout the year has been challenging, and the Yankees’ rotation has been disrupted due to Nestor Cortes’ impending transfer to the IL. Whether it’s Vasquez or Brito starting, neither is expected to provide much depth or prevent the opposition from scoring. Furthermore, the Yankees are still dealing with Aaron Judge’s toe problem, which may impact their performance in this game. Given the uncertainties surrounding New York’s pitching staff, the White Sox hold a slight advantage. The predicted score is a 6-4 victory for the White Sox.
