The pitching matchup for tonight has Luis Severino (5-3, 3.30 ERA) on the mound for the Yankees to face Jose Quintana (4-8, 4.69) of the White Sox. Severino has struggled in his last two starts, allowing 10 runs over 12 innings. On the season, he has 95 strikeouts with 24 walks and a 1.09 WHIP. Quintana is coming off a six-inning scoreless outing against the Twins. He has allowed just six earned runs over his last four starts combined. He has 88 strikeouts with 32 walks and a 1.32 WHIP.
The Yankees took the first game in this series, 6-5. New York has now won three of four meetings with the White Sox this year. The Yankees are 41-33 overall and 17-20 on the road. Chicago is 32-43 overall and 15-16 at home.
The White Sox nearly completed a five-run comeback on Monday, but fell short by one. Trailing 6-1, Chicago put up four runs on a Tim Anderson home run and Jose Abreu double. Aroldis Chapman finally closed the door to earn his eighth save. The Yankees got their six runs in part due to three errors from the White Sox. Tyler Austin hit his first home run to lead New York in the win. Jordan Montgomery pitched seven innings, allowing just one run on five hits to get his sixth win.
I think the White Sox have the ability to earn the slight upset tonight. Quintana has been shaky during the year, but has been showing improved starts and had one of his best outings last time out. I think he will continue to build on that against this New York team. While Severino has the better stats of the two starters, he has not looked great in a starting role.
