Key Storylines
The Yankees come in riding high after a dramatic 3–2 walk-off win over Chicago that clinched their playoff spot. José Caballero delivered the game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth after a wild pitch tied the game. New York is now just a game behind Toronto for the AL East lead and could end today tied with Toronto.
Chicago has little left to play for beyond avoiding a 100-loss season. They would need to win the remainder of their games to do that, which is not likely given the level of play we have seen from them throughout this season.
Pitching matchup
The projected starter for the Yankees is Max Fried. He has posted an excellent 18–5 record with a 2.92 ERA this season across 188.1 innings. He’s shown consistent control and the ability to limit damage in tight games. The White Sox counter with Fraser Ellard. Ellard is 0–2 with a 4.50 ERA in limited innings. Ellard is likely to struggle against a potent Yankees lineup in a high-pressure environment
Recent Team Streaks
The Yankees have won three games in a row to tighten things up in the AL East race. Chicago has dropped three straight games and four of their last five. They will try to avoid a 100th loss on the year with an upset win tonight.
