The New York Yankees are slim underdogs at nearly pick-em prices when they meet the Chicago White Sox in Game 4 of a four-game series.

Chicago rakes against lefties, and my Yankees vs. White Sox predictions and MLB picks expect a high-scoring White Sox victory. 

Who will win Yankees vs White Sox today: White Sox moneyline (-112)

The Chicago White Sox offer clear moneyline value when they host the New York Yankees

Chicago starter Sean Burke’s 83rd-percentile extension (6.8 feet) allows his 94.9 mph heater to play like 96+ mph, lowering hard contact (35.0% Hard-Hit rate), which should slow a longball-reliant Yankees lineup. 

Conversely, Yankees starter Ryan Weathers' shorter extension (5.8 feet) leaves his four-seamer sitting in the zone, exposing him and his .441 xSLG to Chicago's .168 ISO against lefties. 

I am fading Weathers' poor fastball optics and backing the White Sox moneyline, playable to -125. 

Covers COVERS INTEL: New York's bullpen has surrendered a 13.0% walk rate over the last 14 days. Facing a White Sox order slugging .407 with RISP, unearned traffic makes Chicago a solid choice.

Yankees vs White Sox Over/Under pick: Over 7.5 Runs (-116)

The White Sox and Yankees present strong value on the Over 7.5. 

Weather's short extension robs his fastball of late deception, and Chicago's lefties are recognizing it early, exposing his 1.42 HR/9 to their .168 ISO against southpaws. 

Burke isn't airtight either: a 3.81 home xFIP and 1.11 HR/9 should allow the Yankees bats to do their share of the scoring today. 

Both bullpens raise the floor even further; Yankees relievers are walking 13.0% of hitters over the last 14 days, while Chicago's pen carries a 4.09 ERA. 

I am taking the Over to  8.5 runs.
