White Sox vs Yankees Prediction

I’ve backed the White Sox endlessly this season, and we’ve profited nicely. In fact, the White Sox are the most profitable team in baseball this season. I’ll continue to do so but not here. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze. Cole is still one of the better arms in the sport when he’s right, and he’s allowed 20 hits and 10 runs in his last 24.1 innings. He’s finding his form. This is the best Kay has looked, but he’s been hittable throughout his career, and he’s not as trustworthy as Cole. Low price, I have to roll with the Yankees, but I’ll be back on the White Sox train soon enough.
