New York Yankees: Bronx Bombers Pack the Bats
The Yankees roll into Chicago as -196 moneyline favorites, riding a four-game winning streak and actually remembering how to hit a baseball. Aaron Judge is still doing Aaron Judge things, blasting 41 home runs like he’s playing on beginner difficulty. Giancarlo Stanton, who often alternates between “unstoppable tank” and “strikes out like me at karaoke,” is currently in tank mode, six homers and 15 RBIs in his last 10 games. If you’re pitching to him right now, you might as well throw underhand and save everyone the trouble.
New York’s road record is a pedestrian 32-32, but momentum (and Judge’s bat) suggest they’ll be fine against a White Sox team that couldn’t scare a Little League squad right now. Starter Will Warren (7-6, 4.47 ERA) has been serviceable, and when your offense is clicking, serviceable is more than enough.
Chicago White Sox: More Like White Flag
The White Sox enter this one with a record of 48-85 and a home mark of 29-39, proving they’ve managed to disappoint fans in multiple ZIP codes. They’ve shown occasional offensive life, Andrew Benintendi has 15 homers and 48 RBIs, and Kyle Teel has been hot lately, but consistency is about as rare on the South Side as a happy fan.
Starter Davis Martin (5-9, 3.93 ERA) has been the definition of “fine,” but when your team gives up runs like free samples at Costco, it’s tough to keep pace. The Sox have a respectable team ERA (4.21), but it feels like every lead lasts about 15 seconds before Judge or Stanton sends a ball into orbit.
Comedy Corner Matchup
The Yankees’ biggest problem right now might be deciding whether Judge or Stanton gets the honor of terrorizing the White Sox pitching staff first. Meanwhile, Chicago fans will show up out of loyalty, only to remember by the third inning that football season is starting soon.
Prediction
The Yankees’ offense is clicking, the White Sox are… well, not, and New York is chasing playoff positioning. This matchup has “Bronx beatdown” written all over it.
