The New York Yankees are short road favorites against the Chicago White Sox at -137, and I’m laying the moneyline.

New York is in a quick turnaround spot after Sunday Night Baseball, so I’m not eager to push the run line. Still, Noah Schultz’s contact profile is a tough fit against the Yankees’ power, while Max Fried gives New York the stronger run-prevention base.

Here are my Yankees vs White Sox predictions and MLB picks for Monday, July 27.

Who will win Yankees vs White Sox today: Yankees moneyline (-137)

I’m backing the New York Yankees and would play them up to -150.

Chicago White Sox left-hander Noah Schultz’s profile is a poor fit against this lineup. He owns a 6.07 xERA, a near-11% barrel rate, and a Bottom-15th percentile walk rate. That is a bad mix against a Yankees offense built to punish free traffic and loud contact.

Even without Aaron Judge, New York remains in the AL East race because of strong pitching and impact contact, ranking first in barrel rate and third in hard-hit rate.

This is the right matchup for the Yankees to do damage.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Schultz has allowed an 87.7% zone-contact rate, well above the MLB average of 82.6%.

Yankees vs White Sox Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-105)

I’m playing the Over because Schultz gives New York too many ways to build offense. The Yankees do not need a perfect travel spot if they are getting free traffic and airborne contact from a pitcher allowing a 63.3% fly-ball rate.

Chicago can contribute enough on the other side, too. The White Sox are not a pure power offense, but their .324 OBP and 381 walks give them a path to pressure Max Fried into traffic.

Fried is Fried, but you get the sense that the White Sox offense won't have to do much here.

I'd play this to 9.
