New York Has Been Nearly Unbeatable Since Late April

The Yankees have blown the White Sox away in the first two games of this series with a 15-7 win on Thursday night and a 10-4 win on Friday night. Giancarlo Stanton is 7-for-12 in New York’s last three games with four home runs, six runs and 11 RBI.

Everything is clicking for the Yankees right now. New York is 5-0 SU over its last five games and 17-2 SU over its last 19 games. The club ranks fourth in the majors in scoring with five runs per game and their team ERA of 2.78 ranks third best in MLB. 

Chicago’s Poor Pitching Has Led To Current Slump

Chicago allowed only 1.5 runs per game during its 6-0 SU run during the first week of May. That excellent run of pitching has given way to a ghastly 9.5 runs allowed per game over the team’s current 1-3 SU skid.

The White Sox have been struggling at the plate all season, ranking 23rd in the majors in runs scored with 3.63 per game. Bettors taking Chicago as their Yankees vs White Sox prediction will need Dallas Keuchel to pitch another strong game to give the White Sox a shot at an upset in this one.

Yankees vs White Sox Pick & Insights

Yankees: Keys to Victory

For whatever reason, New York’s rare off days on offense this season have generally come on nights that Jordan Montgomery is pitching. As long as that trend doesn’t continue on Saturday, New York should have a great shot at taking care of business as a Yankees vs White Sox prediction.

White Sox: Keys to Victory

Dallas Keuchel owns a 2.23 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP in 60.2 career innings pitched against the Yankees. Keuchel is no longer the dominant pitcher he once was, but his past success against New York could give him the confidence to pitch well enough to lead the White Sox to a Yankees vs White Sox pick upset.
