The White Sox and Yankees will play a double header on Sunday, with the second game being televised on ESPN for Sunday Night Baseball. The Yankees have been very good this season and are starting Taillon and Severino on Sunday. The White Sox answer with Cueto and Kopech. The Yankees have the edge in Game 1 and I like them to win by 1.5. The second game should be a very good matchup and I like the under with two very good pitchers going against each other.
