Yankees vs White Sox (07.30 08:40, Guaranteed Rate Field)

Starters: Yankees Cam Schlitter / White Sox Davis Martin

The Yankees have the clear edge across the board here. They sit second at 57% and are riding a two-game win streak, while the White Sox are third at 52% but have dropped their last two. The season series is lopsided too, with New York holding a 4-1 edge, all of which points toward the Yankees.

Velocity-wise, Schlitter has actually been trending up, sitting 96.9-98.5 mph over his last five outings, while Martin has stayed steady in the 93-94 range with no real change. Schlitter's 2.07 season ERA is dominant compared to Martin's more ordinary 3.49, but his five-start FIP of 3.81 (30.1 innings) runs noticeably higher than that ERA, suggesting his results have not been quite as overpowering as the raw number implies. Martin's FIP of 3.55 (23.1 innings) tracks close to his season ERA, so his numbers look more consistent.

Only Martin has a matchup history here, and it is not pretty -- he was rocked for nine runs in 3.1 innings against the Yankees on June 17 (24.30 ERA), a start he will want to forget.

Both lineups remain unconfirmed for today and are based on each team's last game, so some changes are possible. For what it's worth, a handful of Yankees hitters have had success against Martin in limited at-bats, including a few homers.

The bats favor Chicago slightly right now. New York's team average has slipped from .230 on the season to .177 over the last five games, while the White Sox have held steady, going from .248 to .243 over the same stretch.

Both bullpens have logged the same 14 innings recently, but New York's relievers carry a clearly better ERA at 3.27 versus Chicago's 4.15.

Put it all together and the Yankees have the edge in nearly every category -- standings, head-to-head history, and bullpen reliability. The wrinkles are that Schlitter's recent FIP is not quite as dominant as his ERA suggests, and New York's offense has cooled off lately.
