Yankees vs White Sox pitching matchups
Left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon will take the mound against the White Sox. Rodon is 4-2 with a 3.31 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. Getting some early strikeouts against a struggling offense should not be an issue for the southpaw in this game.
The White Sox will turn in Chris Flexen as their starting pitcher for Game 3. Flexen holds a 2-3 record with a 4.46 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. In 40-plus innings pitched, Flexen has 30 strikeouts. It's going to be a challenge for the righty to prevent hits against powerful hitters like Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe, Giancarlo Stanton and more.
Yankees vs White Sox prediction
The odds are intact for the Yankees to win Game 3 and sweep the White Sox. The Bronx Bombers are powerful at the plate, with a strong pitcher on the mound. Additionally, they have a decent bullpen to back them.
It's going to be hard for the White Sox to prevent hits. Offensively, they are weak when compared to the Yanks. From the pitching end, they do not have enough firepower to dominate the game. The Yanks are predicted to win and extend their overall record.
