WHITE SOX KEY TRENDS: The White Sox have won four of their last five road games and are 4-1 in their last five games overall. They’re also 4-0 in their last four games versus a left-handed starter but have struggled to win coming off victories, going 2-5 in their last seven games following a win.
YANKEES KEY TRENDS: The Yankees have won seven straight games following their 9-3 win over the Cardinals last night on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. They’re also 19-7 in their last 26 home games, are 20-8 in their last 28 games coming off a win, and are 4-0 in their last four home games when taking on a team starting a lefty.
Bet Tonight’s White Sox vs. Yankees Game
OUR PICK: The White Sox are just 5-13 in their last 18 games against the Yankees and have lost 22 of their last 29 road games versus New York. Montgomery allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and walked two while striking out seven batters through 4 2/3 innings on Wednesday. The box score doesn’t show how dominant he was against the Rays and if he pitches like that again tonight, the Yankees should keep their winning streak going.
