The Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees meet again following New York's 12-2 whooping of Chicago, and our White Sox vs. Yankees predictions expect a similar outcome.

Find out why in my MLB picks for Wednesday, June 17.

Who will win White Sox vs Yankees today: Yankees -1.5 (+120)

This is one of the bigger ERA-to-expected ERA gaps you'll find this season.

Anthony Kay’s 8.74 expected ERA is concerning, especially paired with a .438 xwOBA allowed and a 58%+ hard-hit rate. Regression is coming, and few teams are better equipped to take advantage of it.

In addition, it's not ideal that a 15% walk rate puts free runners in front of a New York Yankees lineup that I think has found its footing again.

Carlos Rodon counters with a 75th-percentile strikeout rate and 81st-percentile xERA against a Chicago White Sox lineup that strikes out heavily. Play to +100.

White Sox vs Yankees Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-103)

 I like the Over to -130.

Anthony Kay's .594 expected SLG allowed and 10.3% barrel rate is a big story. I mentioned how I expect the Yankees to hit him hard, and there's just loads of evidence to back that up.

On the other side, Carlos Rodon's Bottom 3 percentile walk rate is always a story. It's an issue here because this White Sox team has quietly hung around the top ten of baseball in various hard-hit metrics.

The Yankees will do the heavy lifting, and the White Sox will put up a crooked inning in a hitter-friendly stadium.
