When: Friday, May 13, 2016, 7:05 PM Eastern time Where: Yankee Stadium, The Bronx, NY TV: CSCh, YES Radio: New York / Chicago Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Chris Sale (7-0, 1.79 ERA) (CHI) vs Luis Severino (0-5, 6.12 ERA) (NY)

Why Should You Bet on Chicago?

I was ready to place my bet after looking at the pitching matchup. Sale not only is near the top of the MLB leaderboard in victories, winning seven times in seven starts, but he also is a league leader in innings pitched (50 ⅓). He averages almost a strikeout per inning pitched. While Carlos Beltran (2 for 5, 1 HR, 3 RBI) and Chase Headley (4-9, 1 HR, 1 RBI) have hit well against Sale in the psat, the rest of the Yankees have not, and no one has been hitting him well this year. Opposite Sale is Luis Severino, who has yet to post a win and has been hurling the sort of meat that hitters like to pound a long, long way.

Why Should You Put Your Money on the Yankees?

To be honest, the Yanks are a real long shot in this one, thanks to the pitching matchup. However, the Yankee offense has been waking up a bit as of late. In their 10-7 win over the Royals on Tuesday, the offense was a team effort, as Brett Gardner had the game winning double off Kelvin Herrera, but just to make sure, Brian McCann smacked a double off the fence in right center to add another pair of runs later that inning. A-Rod, Jacoby Ellsbury and Mark Teixeira have all been on the shelf lately, but the Yankees still have won four of six games.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

Sale will shut down the Yankee offense and cruise to a win. I’m predicting a 3-0 shutout for the White Sox.
