Match Predictor (Win-Probability): New York Yankees (44.3%); Chicago White Sox (55.7%)
The New York Yankees close out their series against the Chicago White Sox Wednesday, August 9th. Chicago took the opener with a 5-1 upset over New York, handing the Yankees their second straight loss. Odds are still pending, but ESPN Analytics is giving the White Sox the edge with a 55.7% chance to win on Wednesday. The Yankees will look to redeem themselves after the upset, but must do so on the road. New York has not announced a starting pitcher, but the White Sox are going with Mike Clevinger on the mound.
The New York Yankees (58-55)
The New York Yankees last in the AL East, 9th in the American League, and 16th in the MLB with a 58-55 record. It’s been a rough season for the Yankees. Injuries have plagued New York throughout the season, and they’ve been at full strength for very few games. Aaron Judge, who’s missed 54 games this season, is back in the Yankees lineup after recovering from a ligament tear in his big toe, but now Anthony Rizzo, another key player for the Yankees, has been ruled out with a concussion. The seamlessly never ending stream of injuries has made it difficult for the Yankees to find any semblance of consistency, making New York a risky bet even against low-level opponents.
The Chicago White Sox (46-68)
In the last 10 years, the Chicago White Sox qualified for the postseason two times (2020, 2021). They missed out last year, and with a 46-68 record this season, Chicago is nowhere near a playoff berth. The White Sox are 4th in the AL Central, 13th in the American League, and 27th in the MLB. Their -90 run differential is the 5th-worst in baseball, and they only win about 40% of their games. But against the Yankees, the White Sox are 3-1, as they match up well against a New York side that is struggling at the plate.

Yankees vs. White Sox Prediction
Take the White Sox to beat the Yankees on Wednesday. Chicago may be 12.5 games back on the Yankees in the AL, but the White Sox have a tricky opponent for New York. For one, the Yankees can’t hit the ball. New York is 29th in total hits with the 29th-worst batting average. If the White Sox limit the Yankees home run balls, Chicago can outmatch New York in the short-game, giving the White Sox a clear path to victory. Chicago’s Luis Robert Jr. can match Aaron Judge at the plate, and the White Sox will win in a tightly contested series finisher on Wednesday.
Prediction: Chicago White Sox Runline (+1.5)
