Friday’s game between Chicago and New York was postponed so they will play a doubleheader on Sunday.
The nightcap will be ESPN’s nationally televised broadcast of Sunday Night Baseball.
Chicago White Sox
So after Johnny Cueto faces Jameson Taillon at 4, Michael Kopech will take the ball for Chicago against Luis Severino of the Yankees.
The 26-year-old has a 1.59 ERA through seven starts this season but is still searching for his first win.
He had not lost until the Yankees beat him his last time out. Kopech allowed one hit in six innings but three straight walks and a wild pitch led to three runs for New York in the second inning.
Tony La Russa let his young righty pitch through it and the four perfect innings Kopech threw after the spell of wildness may boost his confidence going into the rematch.
New York Yankees
Chicago faced Nestor Cortes in that game. It will face Luis Severino, whom it has not seen yet this season, in this one.
He picked up his third win of the season in his last time out against Baltimore.
Sevy’s strikeouts are down. He’s still punching out close to ten per nine innings but he has cut down on K’s while also limiting the opponent to fewer hits.
DJ LaMahieu hit a grand slam in Saturday’s 7–5 win and Giancarlo Stanton led New York with three hits.
Nestor Cortes got the win with five innings of work and four relievers finished out the game, including Clay Holmes, who extended his scoreless streak in earning a four-out save.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- The White Sox are 14-41 in their last 55 games as the underdog.
- The White Sox are 8-2 in their last 10 road games.
- Head to Head: White Sox are 2-10 in the last 12 meetings.
- Head to Head: Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in New York.
- The Yankees are 37-14 in their last 51 games overall.
Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction:
This game goes over the total.
The jury is still very much out on Severino, who has already pitched more games this season than he had in the previous three years combined.
His ERA is hovering around the league’s average. If more balls start finding holes, he may slip into the league’s bottom half, though he has done a good job at limiting his walks.
Kopech has the unenviable task of facing the Yankees twice in a row. Just getting through five innings and limiting New York to three or fewer (the modern day quality start) would be a win.
Of course, there are some great bullpens going at each other in this game but both figure to be taxed in the second game of the doubleheader.
