The White Sox are looking to avoid a sweep at the hand of the Yankees. The White Sox have been playing better, going 6-4 over their last 10 but  they still have the worst record in the Majors at 14-32. The Yankees have won six in a row and are 12-2 over their last 14, The White Sox are last in the Majors in runs scored and have scored just three runs so far in the series. 

Chris Flexen gets the start for the Sox. He is 2-3 with a 4.46 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Carlos Rodon will go for the Yankees. He is 4-2 with a  3.31 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP.  New York has the best record in the AL while the White Sox have the worst record in the Majors.  Rodon has pitched well in three home starts, giving  up a total of four runs. The Yankews are the superior team and will come away with a sweep.

Play on the Yankees minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play.

The total has gone Under in both games of this series and I look for the same today. The Yankees have put up just 10 runs this series while the Sox have managed just three. Flexen has gave up three runs in his last outing. Rodon, who has only given up four runs in three home starts. The Sox have scored the least amount of runs in baseball and will struggle to score off od Rodon.

Pittsburgh took the first two games of the series before losing yesterday 1-0. Mitch Keller will take the mound for the Pirates. He is 4-3 with a 3.93 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in nine starts this season. Jameson Taillon will be making his sixth start for the Cubs. He is 3-1 with a 1.61 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Mitch Keller has not fared well against the Cubs lineup. Even though the Cubs have been struggling to score, their pitching has been outstanding. The Cubs needed and got an all important win yesterday and will carry that over today at home.

Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play.

Jameson Taillon has pitched well in three home starts. He has posted a 1.08 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP in 16.2 innings. Pittsburgh ranks 26th in team batting average and 28th in OPS. These teams combined for 1 yesterday. The Cubs have been great hitting but their offense has been lacking.  Look for Taillon to keep the Pirate bats in check and for this game to stay under the number.
