The New York Yankees are -135 road favorites to take Game 2 against the Chicago White Sox.

With an in-form Gerrit Cole taking the bump, I think there's still value in backing N.Y. at that price.

Let's take a closer look at my Yankees vs. White Sox predictions and MLB picks for Tuesday, July 28.

Who will win Yankees vs White Sox today: Yankees (-135)

The New York Yankees haven’t been as potent lately, but they rank third in ISO against left-handed pitching.

That sets up well facing Chicago White Sox starter Anthony Kay, who sits in the 32nd percentile in barrel rate allowed this season.

Kay has struggled mightily facing teams that hit lefties for power, sporting a 7.04 ERA while allowing 1.96 homers per nine innings over five starts against Top-10 teams in ISO vs. lefties

Gerrit Cole is rocking a 2.56 xFIP and 0.90 WHIP over the past month, and should help guide home a lead.

Bet to -145.

Covers COVERS INTEL: With Chicago ranking 23rd in average vs. righties in July, and Cole limiting walks at an elite level, it'll be difficult for the White Sox to generate traffic.

Yankees vs White Sox Over/Under pick: Under 8 (-115)

Both teams rank Top 10 in runs, but I think this is a spot to zag.

Cole has been excellent of late, sporting a 2.56 xFIP, 2.42 SIERA, and 33.7% K rate over the last five starts. He walked just 2.1% of batters during that span.

He’s limiting quality contact effectively and issuing next to no free passes, which is a big plus facing a powerful White Sox offense.

The Yankees rank 26th in OPS vs. lefties in July, and Kay’s 31.7% fly-ball rate over the last 30 days could help further zap their power.

Bet to -120.
