Pick
The Yankees have yet to name a starting pitcher for this contest, but it is Severino’s turn in the rotation. Severino has not been good for the Yankees this season and he has allowed 14 earned runs in his last two starts (7.1 IP). Chicago is starting Mike Clevinger, who has allowed three earned runs over his last three starts (14.2 IP). This game is tough to call because the Yankees have hit the ball so inconsistently, while the White Sox have struggled over the last three months. I am going to assume Severino stays in the rotation, so I am going to take the White Sox here.
