Yankees vs White Sox Prediction
The Yankees are 6-1 in their last 7 head-to-head meetings against the White Sox, and have won their last three meetings in Chicago. Over is 4-1 in their last 5 meetings.
In this Yankees vs White Sox Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -220 home favorites. The Yankees are on a roll right now, and with Rodon on the mound, it is hard to fade them against a terrible White Sox squad. Yankees’ offense is red-hot lately, with 10+ runs in three of their last four games, and with Rodon on the mound to keep Chicago’s bats in check, I expect them to get away with another dominating road win and cover the runline again today.
