Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees Prediction

The Yankees have won seven in a row and they have won all six of their home games on the season. In their win streak they have only given up a total of 18 runs and their starts have an ERA of only 2.54 in their streak. The White Sox have won four of their last five games and in three of those wins they did not score more than three runs. Chicago has had great pitching this season, but they have struggled at the plate. In two games, both wins, they combined for 21 runs, but in their nine other games they have only combined for 16 runs. Holland has been solid in his first two starts of the season, but will get into some trouble facing a New York lineup that has totaled 42 runs On top of that Montgomery will have another decent start and the Yankees will win their 8th in a row.
