NY Yankees vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’ll stay with the Yankees, but the line’s too thick to mess with. That said, Gil is cruising lately. Over his last three starts, he’s 3-0 with just one earned over a combined 18.1 innings on six hits and seven walks. As for Keller, he’s given up just one earned on five hits and a walk over his last 6.1 innings. Keller didn’t go past 3.1 innings in either of those, however.

On Friday the Yankees scored twice in the fourth inning and held the lead from there. New York got home runs from Giancarlo Stanton (two RBI) and Aaron Judge (three walks) in a pretty solid effort from the top of the lineup. New York should keep rolling Saturday.
