New York at Chicago

The Yankees’ lineup has been productive this season, despite the fact that few within it are having career-average years. That is catching up to opposing hitters. Just ask Gavin Floyd who surrendered 10 earned runs as the Yankees hung an ugly 18 on the Sox, taking all three games thus far in the series. The Bombers have struck for 101 runs in their last 13 games at nearly 8 per contest. Ivan Nova has been a pleasant surprise with a 9-4 mark, and the Yankees have won each of his last six starts where he has pitched to a 2.82 ERA. The Yankees are hard to slow down when they get the bats going as they are 21-8 in their last 29, when scoring 5+ in their previous game. The White Sox are fizzling out at home as a dog at just 3-13 in their last 16. Take New York in this one.
