Final White Sox-Yankees Prediction & Pick
Not only do the Yankees have the better offense, they have the better pitcher going in this one as well. Brad Keller has been hit or miss, but he does not go deep into games. This will put the White Sox bullpen on display. The bullpen has struggled all year long, and this potent Yankees offense will be able to take advantage of that in this one.
