In their recent win against the Texas Rangers, they were walked three times and hit four home runs. The team is determined to secure the top spot in the American League East, currently tied with the Baltimore Orioles. Right-handed pitcher Luis Gil will start the next game, boasting a 12-5 record with an ERA of 3.06 and 138 strikeouts in 22 appearances this season.

Chicago White Sox Analysis

The Chicago White Sox suffered a 1-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, marking their third consecutive loss following a 21-game losing streak. After breaking the streak, manager Pedro Grifol and three assistant coaches were fired. The White Sox have struggled with pitching consistency this season, ranking second to last in ERA and last in walks allowed. Starting pitcher Erick Fedde has the lowest ERA on the team at 3.11. The team's pitching woes have led to a 6.35 ERA in their last ten games. Rookie left-handed pitcher Ky Bush will start in the upcoming game, following his debut against the Oakland Athletics where he allowed three runs in four innings. The White Sox currently rank 30th in power ranking, with an offense averaging 3.08 runs per game, a defense giving up 5.19 runs per game, and an overall record of 28-91. They recently swept New York in three matchups.

New York Yankees Continue Dominance on the Road Against White Sox

The New York Yankees have demonstrated their dominance against the White Sox on the road, with a record of 7-3 in their last 10 games. Furthermore, in their most recent five road victories against the White Sox, the Yankees covered a -2.5 run line in 80% of the matches. The upcoming matchup sees the White Sox starting a rookie pitcher against the formidable offense of the Yankees. It is worth noting that Chicago has allowed the highest number of home runs in the league this season, an area where the Yankees excel. Given these factors, I am inclined to take the New York Yankees at -2.5 for this game.
