New York Yankees @ Chicago White Sox Preview

The New York Yankees (74-60) travel to Rate Field to take on the Chicago White Sox (48-86) in what shapes up to be a compelling matchup. The Yankees are currently on a hot streak, having won seven of their last ten games, and boast a strong overall season record. Their offense has been particularly potent, averaging 5.20 runs per game, which ranks them first in the league. On the mound, the Yankees will send left-hander Carlos Rodón (14-7, 3.24 ERA) to the hill, who has been a reliable starter for them this season, with his team holding a 14-12 record when he starts as the moneyline favorite. New York's road performance has also been impressive, consistently scoring over five runs per game, backed by a powerful batting lineup and dependable starting pitching.

Conversely, the Chicago White Sox are navigating a challenging phase, sitting at the lower end of their league standings. Their recent form shows only four victories against six defeats in their last ten games, allowing an average of six runs per game. Their offense averages 3.94 runs per game (26th in the league), and their defense allows 4.52 runs per game (21st in the league). Right-hander Yoendrys Gómez (3-1, 4.73 ERA) is slated to start for the White Sox. While the White Sox have managed to cover the spread in all three of Gómez's starts with a set spread, and won all three times he started as a moneyline underdog, they face a formidable challenge against the in-form Yankees. The White Sox will be without key players Luis Robert Jr. (10-Day IL, strained left hamstring) and Miguel Vargas (Out).
