Game 1 Pick: Johnny Cueto looked great in his season debut, but he’s an aging pitcher who hasn’t pitched a ton over the last four or five years, and I’m worried about how he’ll handle this lineup on the road with the lack of consistent reps. Jameson Taillon has allowed just 13 runs in 35.2 innings, and the Yankees have won each of his last six starts. I need to see more from Cueto before I can back him in spots like this. Give me the Yanks.
Game 2 Pick: Michael Kopech has been one of the better pitchers in the league this season, allowing 16 hits and six runs through 35 innings. Luis Severino has been a little shaky this month, allowing 13 hits and seven earned runs through 15.2 innings. The New York Yankees probably have the edge at home, but this is a spot where the White Sox should get the job done behind their ace.
