Yankees vs White Sox MLB Betting Preview
Yankees vs White Sox Pick, Betting Analysis
Yankees starter Ryan Weathers is an erratic pitcher, but with a 20.2 K-BB%, it often comes down to what happens when batters are making contact.
For a while, that was too many home runs and barrels, but he’s only allowed a single home run and four barrels over his last six starts, and still has a 4.61 ERA and 5.13 xERA over that span because of his 44.2 HardHit%. However, the xFIP is just 2.75.
Importantly, the gap between right-handed home run factor between Yankee Stadium and Guaranteed Rate Field is 30 points. This park may be better equipped to handle the damage Weathers incurs.
The White Sox are a dangerous bunch at home (projected lineup average 110 wRC+ through Tuesday) and against LHP (111), but those same nine also have just an 86 wRC+ over the last 30 days.
It’s also a very top-heavy lineup too, with five of the nine above a 135 wRC+ against LHP, but three of the remaining four below 70.
With great timing, Fangraphs had a Wednesday article identifying Sean Burke as a velocity riser, up nearly 2 mph since April, although they were also able to break his last six starts down into those where he sat at 96 mph (great) and the two where he did not (not so good).
The article did not include his last start, where Burke sat 95.1 mph and struck out 10 of 24 Astros with a 16.7 SwStr%.
Going back nine starts now, Burke has a 24.4 K-BB% with just a 32 HardHit%. He’s dominated to the tune of a 2.48 ERA, 2.81 xERA and 3.17 xFIP during this stretch.
Down now both Judge and Bellinger, the projected Yankee lineup (I’ve swapped Wells for Sanchez in BARTOLO’s projections for the day game after night game) averages just a 98 wRC+ on the road, 88 vs RHP and 79 over the last 30 days.
The deeper you look, the worse it gets. Ben Rice (165) is the only one of the nine to reach a 100 wRC+ over the last month, and he’s also the only one above 110 against RHP this year (174), with six of the remaining eight not exceeding 90.
The Yankee defense is about as neutral as it gets, with the projected defense accumulating -1 FRV in contrast to the 6 FRV for Chicago’s projected starters.
Both bullpens have at least top half of the league estimators over the last month, with the White Sox top third of the league (3.59 FIP, 3.84 xFIP, 3.58 SIERA), averaging almost exactly one-third of a run better than the Yankees. BARTOLO projects both bullpens to be middle of the league.
Guaranteed Rate Field suppresses run scoring by 4% on average, while a preliminary weather forecast gives 2-3% of that back, and scheduled umpire Andy McKay is almost perfectly neutral.
I’m giving the White Sox very small edges in almost every aspect of this game, including a projected lineup 3 BRR (Base Running Runs) edge.
Add in another small edge for playing at home, and I believe they’re getting just a bit slighted here (-112) in what I expect to be a low-scoring contest.
I might be on the under for a full unit if a long extra-inning game on Wednesday night wasn't hindering both bullpens.
Pick: White Sox -112, 0.56u | Bet to -115, Under 8 (-106), 0.53u | Bet Through 8
