Pitching Matchup
Sean Burke (3-4, 4.15 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) gets the nod for the White Sox and was not sharp in his last start, giving up four runs in only 4 1/3 innings in a 7-1 loss to the L.A. Dodgers. Chicago had won its previous two starts, where it gave up a total of four runs in 9 2/3 innings.
Ryan Weathers (2-5, 4.36 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) takes the hill for the Yankees and was lit up in his last start, giving up six runs in 4 1/3 innings in an 8-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. New York has lost its last three outings, where it has given up a total of 16 runs in 17 innings.
Bronx Bombers living up to their name
The Yankees have reached double digits in runs in each game of this series, totaling 22, and have seven home runs.
Paul Goldschmidt (.301, 11 home runs, 36 RBIs) has gone yard in each game in this series and has three home runs in the last four games.
Burke has to avoid the long ball
The Yankees' power surge does not bode well for Burke, who has given up two home runs in each of his last two starts.
Sox without their big bat
Munetaka Murakami (.240, 20 home runs, 41 RBIs) ranks fifth in the Majors in home runs but is out for this game with a hamstring injury.
One hot and one not for Chicago
Colson Montgomery (.225, 19 home runs, 44 RBIs) and Miguel Vargas (.244, 16 home runs, 44 RBIs) are tied for the most runs batted in for the Sox. Montgomery is hot with three home runs and six RBIs over the last three games, while Vargas is not, with only one RBI in the last six games.
PlayersBest pick: Over 9.5 runs
The 9.5-run total is on the high side, but the Over is still a value pick in this game. The total has gone well over in both games of this series, and that has been the winning pick for five of the last six Yankees games. Plus, Burke gave up four runs in his last start, and Weathers has given up 16 runs over his last four starts.
This game won't feature a pitchers' duel, which is why the Over 9.5 runs is the way to go.
White Sox vs. Yankees player prop picks
Here are some player prop bets we like at DraftKings Sportsbook:
- Ryan Weathers to give up 5+ hits (+108) – He has given up 18 hits over his last three starts.
- Paul Goldschmidt 1+ home runs (+346) – Good odds for a player who has three home runs in the last four games.
