New York Yankees vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the White Sox here. I thought this would be the best chance of the bunch that the White Sox would have at a win in this series before Monday’s upset, but the upset gives me even more hope that they can carry it over here. Cortes just has been terrible on the road and while the White Sox could stand to play better against lefties, I think this is a great opportunity for them to take a chance to break out of the slump. Give me the White Sox.
