The White Sox are entering this series off a win and lost their 3-game series against the Houston Astros 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 55-51 record overall and have a home record of 32-21. This is the 4th game of a 4-game series with the Yankees on Thursday with the 3rd game of this series still to be played on Wednesday.

The current betting odds have the White Sox listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked good in their games this season with their 61-46 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They have been a good road team too with their 35-23 road record this year. Meanwhile, the White Sox have looked good in their games this season with their 55-51 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 32-21 home record this season. The Yankees are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they have been starting to get hot again while the White Sox are 4-6 in their last 10 games and have been cooling off now. The White Sox still have an offense that can match the Yankees though and they are going to have the better pitching matchup here. The White Sox are going with Burke in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 7-5 with a 3.19 ERA and he has looked a lot better lately too. He is coming off a great start giving up 2 earned runs which has been a common theme for him lately and the team has been having a ton of success with him too, winning 6 of their last 7 games with him starting. The Yankees are going with Weathers in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 4-7 with a 4.25 ERA and has been really up and down all year. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and the team has been having more success with him lately, winning 3 games in a row now with him starting, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year. The Yankees offense hasn't been at it's best lately either and this is a great opportunity for the White Sox to bounce back and take a game in this series, so look for the White Sox to take advantage of this pitching matchup with that really good offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.

“He’s been awesome. You talk about command, he’s had that. It feels like he’s been pretty much ahead of everyone.” - Aaron Boone on David Bednar after his team’s win against the White Sox in their game on Tuesday. 

“We're upset about losing and the results. Then it's also, ‘All right, how are you going to learn from that?’ You've got to remove the emotion from it, look at the result, look at how it came about and learn about how you're going to use that going forward. These aren't the most important games that we'll play. While every game is important, there's more important stuff down the road." - Braden Montgomery after their loss against the Yankees in their game on Tuesday.
