Brett Gardner helped pace the offense as he finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run. D.J. LeMahieu and Gary Sanchez both went 2-for-5 with a run scored. James Paxton suffered the loss as he allowed six earned runs on seven hits with one strikeout and two walks over 2 2/3 innings. J.A. Happ will start for New York tonight as he enters with a 6-3 record, 4.48 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 59 strikeouts over 70 1/3 innings.

James McCann finished 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and two runs. Evan Marshall picked up the win in relief as he struck out two over 1 1/3 innings of perfect relief.

MLB Betting Trends

New York

The Yankees are 6-1 in their last seven games following an off day. New York is 5-0 in the last five Happ starts in a series opener.

Chicago

The White Sox are 4-1 in their last five Thursday games. Chicago is 7-2 in its last nine home games.

Prediction:

Happ has been giving up a lot of home runs this season, but typically has been dependable. The same can't be said for Nova and his bloated numbers. Look for Happ to get ample run support even if he gives up a long ball or two. I'm taking the Yankees here.
