New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m going to back New York here. I’m still not the biggest believer in Cam Schlittler, but the thing here is that the Yankees are just in one of those grooves where it feels like they can’t do anything wrong and the quality of competition or lack thereof on the other side doesn’t hurt either. Smith has been in great form for the White Sox, but this is just a bad matchup and I think that the Yankees beat up on Chicago here again. Give me New York.
