The Yankees have crushed the White Sox in the first two games of their series, and dominated most everyone else they have faced lately. Today’s starter Montgomery has pitched well enough for the Yankees, giving up 2 runs over 5 or 6 innings in his last three starts. He will be backed by NY’s cracking good bullpen. Two runs is pocket change for a Yankees’ squad that has scored 25 runs in the last two games.

The White Sox run out Dallas Keuchel today. Two of his last three starts have been adequate, but opposing batters have huge averages against him this year. Stanton and Donaldson in particular have owned Keuchel over the years. The Yankees have also had great success against Chicago’s bullpen.

Pure and simple, the White Sox lack the horses to run with the New York’s offense, and are at a significant disadvantage in pitching expectations today. Take the Yankees -1 ½ today.
