Yankees vs White Sox Prediction

The Yankees are 8-1 in their last 9 head-to-head meetings against the White Sox, and have won their last five meetings in Chicago. Over is 5-2 in their last 7 meetings.

In this Yankees vs White Sox Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -210 home favorites. The Yankees have been red-hot lately, but they are facing arguably the best Chicago pitcher in Martin Perez. Perez has been excellent at home, with a 1.29 home ERA, while Gil has been in excellent form for the Yankees, with just one earned run in each of his last three starts. Both teams are weaker in hitting the opposing starter throw hand, so I like this game to be a low-scoring one. 9 total runs is a lot for this game, so go under this total today.
