Yankees vs White Sox Tonight! Odds and Insights with Carlos SME
Hey sports fans! Tonight, we’ve got an exciting clash as the New York Yankees (70-49) take on the Chicago White Sox (28-91) in the opener of a three-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field. The first pitch? Scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s dive into this matchup and explore some insights straight from BetMGM Sportsbook’s odds.
Yankees Lead the Season Series
First off, the Yankees are leading the season series 3-0. They’ve really turned things around lately, winning 10 of their last 14 games since July 27. That’s a major comeback after their June-July rollercoaster! The White Sox, on the other hand? Not so great. They’ve gone a shocking 1-24 since July 10. Ouch! With Chicago ranking last in MLB scoring and almost last in run prevention, it’s clear they’ve got a tough game ahead.
Projected Starters
On the mound for the Yankees tonight is RHP Luis Gil. This guy’s been solid, boasting a 12-5 record with a 3.06 ERA across 22 starts. His impressive numbers include a 1.11 WHIP and 10.6 K/9, making him the reliable choice New York needs.
Luis Gil’s Last Outing:
– Win, 5 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 5 BB, 6 K in 5-2 home victory vs. Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.
– Career vs. White Sox: 1-0, 4.50 ERA (10 IP, 5 ER), 10 H, 3 BB, 19 K in 2 starts.
– Threw a season-high 107 pitches in his last start.
LHP Ky Bush steps up for the White Sox, making just his second MLB start. His debut didn’t go quite as planned, allowing 3 earned runs on 2 hits with 5 walks in 4 innings against the Oakland A’s. But hey, everyone’s gotta start somewhere, right?
Ky Bush’s Last Outing:
– Allowed 3 ER on 2 H, 5 BB, 3 K in 4 IP in a 5-1 loss against the A’s on Aug. 5.
– Minor League: 2.89 ERA, 1.12 WHIP with 42 BB and 94 K in 99 2/3 IP.

Considering a Bet?
If you’re contemplating placing a bet tonight, here are a few things to consider:
- The Yankees have been hot lately but are just 13-17 against left-handed starters.
- Luis Gil’s last start saw him thrown for 107 pitches, and historically, he’s struggled in the game following a high-pitch outing.
- The Over has hit in 13 of New York’s last 16 games and in their last 7 road games. Gil’s favorable .232 batting average on balls in play might make Bush’s night even tougher.
