Chicago White Sox vs NY Yankees Prediction 

New York took a bad loss in game one of this series on Monday night and the offense didn’t do much on Tuesday, but Soto saved them by hitting three home runs in the victory. The Yankees are 39-23 on the road this year, while the White Sox are just 18-43 at home. New York cannot afford to drop games against teams like Chicago if they want to win the East over Baltimore. The Yankees have not officially named a starting pitcher for this game, but it could be Warren, who has been pretty bad in two outings. Martin has been decent for Chicago in his two starts, but the White Sox bullpen is awful. I am certainly not taking the White Sox in this game and while I would like to know who is starting for New York, I will still side with the Yankees against the worst team in baseball. My Chicago White Sox vs NY Yankees prediction is for the Yankees to win by at least two runs.
