Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees Prediction
The going won't get any easier today for this offense with All-Star Gerrit Cole on the mound for the New York Yankees. Cole has allowed five hits or less in 16 out of 23 games this season and in five straight starts.
When we look at his numbers from last year, the hit rate is even more impressive, with this under-hitting in 32 out of 58 games over the last two seasons combined. Cole owns an xBA of .233 this season which is good enough to put him in the top 62nd percentile.
In his 11th season, he remains one of the top pitchers in baseball, and he should deliver another solid outing tonight against a struggling White Sox offense.
