The New York Yankees will continue their push for the AL East title as they host the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night. With a 90-68 record, the Yankees have won seven of their last eight games and are tied for first place in the division. They will look to get one last win over the struggling White Sox before heading into their final series of the season. Here, I have broken down this American League matchup and you can find my White Sox vs Yankees prediction below.

Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
- Davis Martin (White Sox): The right-hander has a 7-10 record with a 4.03 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. He has struck out 99 batters in 138.1 innings this season. Martin will face a potent Yankees lineup that leads the majors in home runs and runs scored.
- Carlos Rodón (Yankees): Rodón enters this start with a 17-9 record with a 3.04 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. He has accumulated 198 strikeouts over 189.1 innings. Rodón’s walk numbers are high but he has made up for that by allowing just 128 hits in his 189.1 innings of work.
Key Players
- Aaron Judge (Yankees): Judge has been on fire, hitting his 50th and 51st home runs of the season in the previous game. He leads the majors with a .328 batting average and has 109 RBI.
- Miguel Vargas (White Sox): Vargas has shown some power this season, hitting 15 home runs and driving in 52 runs. He will need to step up to provide support for the White Sox offense.
Recent Team Streaks

Final Thoughts
The Yankees are playing very well down the stretch this season and should continue to do so in this game. I will lay the 2.5-run runline with the Yankees here, as they should crush the White Sox to keep the pressure on the Blue Jays. New York could very well end the day in sole possession of the AL East lead.
