Starting Pitchers

Dylan Cease (3-1) gets the call for Chicago in his seventh start of the year. Cease last pitched on May 7 against the Red Sox when he went five innings and gave up four hits and an earned run while striking out eight in a no-decision. The right-hander has a 2.38 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP through 34 innings.

The Yankees are set to counter with Luis Gil, who will be making his first appearance of the season. Gil, who has been pitching with the organization’s Triple-A club, made six starts in 2021 with the Yankees, posting a 1-1 record with a 3.07 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP over 29.1 innings of work.

Yankees Win Seventh Straight Series

The Yankees completed a two-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday with a 5-3 win. Gleyber Torres hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning and then a two-run single in the sixth to drive in all five of New York’s runs in the game. Starter Jameson Taillon went 5.1 innings, allowing six hits and just one earned run to pick up the win.

New York has gotten off to a red-hot start to the season, owning the best record in the majors at the 30-game mark. Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton have all been swinging hot bats, with Judge’s 10 home runs leading the majors.

Anderson Setting The Table For ChiSox Offense

Chicago picked up a 4-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday to earn a split in their two-game set. Gavin Sheets hit a two-run bomb in the sixth inning to give the White Sox a comfortable lead, while Lucas Giolito gave up six hits and one earned run over seven innings of work in the win.

While Chicago’s offense has been as potent as New York’s, they’ve had a standout performer of their own in Tim Anderson. The shortstop is batting .347 on the season – sixth in the majors and second in the American League behind only Taylor Ward of the Los Angeles Angels, who’s hitting .367.

Yankees vs White Sox Pick & Insights

Yankees: Keys To Victory

Although the Yankees have a bit of a question mark on the mound in Gil, they should still be confident heading into Thursday’s game knowing that their bats can get them out of almost any jam. Stanton has eight RBIs and three home runs over his last six games while Torres should be feeling it coming off a five-RBI outing.

White Sox: Keys To Victory

The White Sox will want to take advantage of an inexperienced pitcher for the Yankees and that starts with their leadoff man. Anderson will likely get on base at least a couple of times, but he’ll need some help driving the offense. Jose Abreu has had a slow start to the season with just three homers and 12 RBIs – this could be a chance for him to get going.
