Prediction published on 8/28/25, 3:56 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 9/1/25 at 1:08 AM in MLB Picks

Looking to sustain their winning ways, the New York Yankees are booked as an overwhelming favorite at -198 heading into Thursday’s series opener with the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals to extend their win streak to four games and improve their record to 73-60. New York sits third in the AL East, trailing the 74-60 Boston Red Sox by a half game and the 78-56 Toronto Blue Jays by 4.5 games. Averaging 7.5 runs per game over their last five games, New York has lit up the scoreboards in their previous series, scoring at least 10 runs in two of their three wins against Washington.

After racking up three consecutive wins, the White Sox have dropped their last two assignments, including a lopsided 1-12 loss in the series finale with the Kansas City Royals. Buoyed by three dominant wins early this week, Chicago has posted elite numbers on the mound and behind the plate over the last five games, averaging 5.8 runs per game on a .287 batting average while pitching a 3.45 ERA.
