Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees Prediction
I’m on the White Sox here. The Yankees have thoroughly owned the White Sox in the first two games of this series, but I think they salvage something here. The White Sox have been tremendous against lefties this season and Weathers has been getting rocked in a lot of his recent outings. The Yankees continue to do damage without Aaron Judge, but Burke has been one of their better options this season and I think the White Sox avoid the sweep. Give me Chicago.
