Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Luis Gil has been an effective option for New York this month and has returned from injury nicely. Gil is 2-1 with a 3.75 ERA so far. The one area he needs to work on is his control of the strike zone. He has allowed 17 walks in 24 innings and that total is simply too high. Martín Pérez is a veteran pitcher who will attempt to keep hitters off balance by changing speeds. Gil will try to force strikeouts and limit hard contact and Perez attacks the game a little differently.
Playoffs Update
The Yankees are in the first Wild Card spot in the American League this season. They will look to extend their lead over the rest of the Wild Card contenders with a win today. Chicago has not been eliminated from playoff contention yet but that day is approaching quickly.
Recent Team Streaks
- The Yankees are winners of seven straight games entering Sunday and have outscored Chicago 25-9 across the first three games of this series.

Final Thoughts
The Yankees have dominated this series against the White Sox so far and I don’t see that changing today. The power bats of the Yankees should be able to chase Perez from this game and force Chicago to go to its bullpen early. New York should take advantage of that and cover the runline as a favorite in this series finale from Chicago.
