New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I think the White Sox’s offence will continue to have issues against a solid option in Luis Gil, who has looked pretty good in his last few starts following the injury. On the other hand, the same could be said for Martin Perez, who has arguably been Chicago’s staff ace this season and the Yankees haven’t been anything special against lefties either. Give me the under here.
