MLB Betting Trends
Chicago
The White Sox have won six of their last eight against a starter with a WHIP over 1.30, but they are just 6-23 in Shields’ last 29 road starts.
New York
The Yankees are 13-3 in their last 16 games against a right-handed starter and 22-6 in their last 28 against AL Central opponents.
Prediction:
The Yankees couldn’t handle Reynaldo Lopez on Monday and it led to a loss. I think New York can definitely get to Shields today. While I see the White Sox getting to Lynn as well, I like the Yankees more in a shootout at home. New York has the better hitting on most nights and their bullpen is far superior to Chicago’s.
The Pick: New York Yankees -240
