Chicago is 8-2 in their last 10 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 games following a win. The under is 8-1-1 in Chicago’s last 10 road games. New York is 4-1 in their last 5 Friday games and 22-7 in their last 29 game 1’s of a series. The over is 5-2 in New York’s last 7 game 1’s of a series. The White Sox are 2-10 in these two teams last 12 head to head meetings.

This game is a severe mismatch on paper and I expect the Yankees to win easily. Keuchel is coming off of a good start against New York his last time out, but has been very inconsistent this year. Cortes has allowed 6 runs in his last 5 starts. The Yankees are one of the best teams in baseball and I like them to win by at least two here.
