Yankees vs White Sox Prediction
New York enters the last week of the regular season trying to catch the Blue Jays in the East, so they have to take advantage of playing Chicago here. The Yankees are 44-31 at home this year, while the White Sox are 25-50 on the road. Chicago has really dropped their level of play in the last few weeks and they are starting Smith, who has allowed 4+ earned runs in two of his last three outings. NY is going with Gil, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five. I expect New York to jump all over the White Sox in this game and I like them to win by at least two runs.
