White Sox vs Yankees Prediction
The Yankees have figured things out this week and Rodon continues to pitch well. In his last 28.1 innings, Rodon has allowed 15 hits and 11 runs. Rodon needs to lower his walk total, but he’s been a safe bet this season overall. Gomez should be motivated as he’s going up against his former team, but we continue to make money fading the White Sox. It’s been the case for years. This series is a gift for the Yankees to gain ground in the AL East race. No excuses here. Give me the Yanks and the RL for max betting value.
