The White Sox are coming into this game with a 19-19 record overall and they are 10-9 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They just won their 5-game series against the Kansas City Royals 3-2 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the series opener still to be played on Saturday and the 2nd game still to be played on Sunday as this is a double-header. Johnny Cueto is the starting pitcher for them in game 1 on Sunday while Michael Kopech is on the mound for them here in game 2 on Sunday. He is 0-1 with a 1.54 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HRs, and 4 BB with 3 Ks on 1 hit in 6 IP against the New York Yankees. They scored 18 runs in their last series averaging just under 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 15 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game with a 28-10 record overall and they are 14-4 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 4 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 4-game series against the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the White Sox on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 1st game still to be played on Saturday and the 2nd game still to be played on Sunday as this is a double header. Jameson Taillon is the starting pitcher for them in game 1 on Sunday while Luis Severino will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 3-0 with a 3.63 ERA this season. His team won all 7 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned run, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 7 strikeouts on 1 hit in 6 innings played against the Baltimore Orioles. They scored 20 runs in their last series averaging 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 17 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games and they currently hold the best record in the MLB right now. They are going up against a White Sox team that has not been playing very well recently, has one of the worst bullpens in the MLB this season, and just lost a 4-game series at home last week to the Yankees 3-1. They are playing a double-header here and there is a very good chance the Yankees could take both of these games with Taillon and Severino pitching here. Kopech is starting for the White Sox here and he has been great this season, their best pitcher on staff so far, but their bullpen has been awful and could blow this game at any time and the Yankees have been hitting the ball very well recently and have been scoring a lot of runs in their games. They have yet to show signs of cooling down and until they do, they are not a team to bet against here. The best bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
