Yankees vs White Sox (07.28 08:40, Guaranteed Rate Field)

Starters: Yankees Max Fried / White Sox Noah Schultz

In the AL standings, the Yankees sit 2nd at 56% and the White Sox are close behind at 3rd with 53%, making this a matchup between two upper-tier clubs. New York is coming off a one-game skid while Chicago just won its last outing, so recent momentum is close to even, and the Yankees hold a narrow 2-1 edge in this seasons head-to-head series.

The starting pitching matchup, though, looks lopsided. Fried has been steady all season with a 2.97 ERA, while Schultz has struggled to a 6.04 mark. The gap widens when you look at recent form, Fried FIP over his last five starts is actually better than his season number at 2.32, while Schultz FIP has gotten even worse than his already rough season line at 6.75. Both samples sit around 22-25 innings, so these are fairly trustworthy reads. On velocity, Schultz has shown some signs of life, touching 95.6 mph in his most recent outing, while Fried has stayed steady in the 93-94 range.

Both offenses have cooled recently, but the Yankees stand out, dropping from a .241 season average all the way to .181 over their last five games, while the White Sox have cooled more modestly, from .248 to .218. Neither team has a confirmed lineup yet, with both projected off their last games cards.

The bullpens are fairly even, with the White Sox logging 11.2 innings at a 3.26 ERA recently and the Yankees at 10 innings with a 2.97 ERA. Overall, the two teams are closely matched, but the starting pitching matchup clearly favors Fried, who is trending up while Schultz continues to trend the wrong way, likely to be a key factor in how this one plays out.
