New York Yankees at Chicago White Sox\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The New York Yankees have won eight of their last 11 games against the Chicago White Sox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York was in relative control of last night\u2019s game against Chicago, but surrendered nine runs between the fifth and eighth innings in a 9-6 setback in the series opener.\u00a0 \u201cThe bullpen struggled tonight,\u201d commented Yankees manager Joe Girardi.\u00a0 The Yankees have a chance to bounce back in this affair, considering they\u2019ve tallied a 26-17 record against left-handed starters.\u00a0 New York is 6-6 as a road underdog of +100 to +125, with the OVER going 6-5 in those contests.<\/p>\n

Yankees starting pitcher Ivan Nova (11-6, 4.76 ERA) has watched the club drop three of his last four outings, including a no-decision effort in a 10-6 home loss to the Texas Rangers last time out.\u00a0 The right-hander is 8-2 with a 3.76 ERA in 14 road outings, issuing 24 walks and striking out 80 batters in 88.2 innings of work.\u00a0 In four career games versus the White Sox, Nova has tallied a 2-0 record and 1.33 ERA, but didn\u2019t earn a decision in a 4-3 home loss on June 28.<\/p>\n

Chicago snapped its three-game losing streak with last night\u2019s victory, something the clubhouse was focused on doing after a weekend of disappointment in Kansas City.\u00a0 \u201cComing home is always nice,\u201d stated White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski.\u00a0 The White Sox were paced by four home runs offensively, which included designated hitter Adam Dunn hitting his major league-leading 36th round tripper of the season.\u00a0 Chicago is 13-3 at home when the total is 9 to 9.5, with the OVER going 11-5 in those contests.<\/p>\n

White Sox starting pitcher Francisco Liriano (4-10, 5.22 ERA) has led his new team to three wins in his four efforts since coming over from the Minnesota Twins, including a 7-2 road victory over the Toronto Blue Jays last time out.\u00a0 The left-hander is 2-4 with a 4.97 ERA in 13 home outings (11 starts), with opposing hitters batting .215 against him.\u00a0 In eight lifetime appearances (seven starts) versus the Yankees, Liriano has compiled a 1-4 record and 4.02 ERA, including an 8-3 setback on the road on April 17.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Yankees due to their 8-3 mark in Nova\u2019s last 11 starts as a road underdog, while the White Sox are 3-8 in the last 11 meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
