Cease’s White Sox on the Rise

Getting a win over the Yankees would confirm that the White Sox are genuinely on the rise. However, with a loss to New York last night, the White Sox kept the score tight and did not allow the Yankees to widen the gap throughout the game. 

For the White Sox, Dylan Cease has led the squad in pitching. Cease is now standing with a 3.09 earned run average, four wins, and 67 strikeouts. However, whether Cease will prove to be enough to withstand the Yankees’ offense will be put to the test this afternoon. 

The White Sox might be ten wins below the Yankees. Yet, Chicago has remained on a solid path to rise and reach the Twins in the division standings in the short term. A win over the Yankees would sure help. 

Stanton’s Yankees to Continue Dominating 

By the numbers, New York is the top team in the league. However, now the team has given themselves a difficult time. In their last series against the White Sox, Chicago did get a win over New York. 

Still, the Yankees were able to walk away with positive numbers. New York dominated the series, winning 3-1. That previous series was over in Chicago; now, playing at their home field, things seem to be heading in the same direction. 

For the Yankees, Giancarlo Stanton has stood out in the last few games. Stanton is now leading the Yankees’ offense with a .309 batting average and 35 runs batted in.
