The Yankees found their bats, and they have unloaded on the White Sox, who are battling with the Guardians for first place in the AL Central. On Thursday, Sean Burke is being called upon to stop a two-game slide and end the Yankees’ four-game winning streak. The Bombers beating up on the White Sox in past years would be no surprise.
The dominance in this series has been pleasant for Aaron Boone as the team works its way through a swath of injuries. If Chicago is going to get a game, this one sets up as a great chance.
Yankees starter Ryan Weathers has been hit hard in his last three outings. Chicago will need to do the same in a game that figures to be high scoring. MLB odds have the Yankees at -149 and Chicago at +134. The total is a bulbous 9½.
