Yankees vs. White Sox: Game 2 predictions, odds, and picks - August 13, MLB 2024
The New York Yankees had one of their worst defeats of the season after dropping Game 1 against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. It was an underwhelming night after losing to the worst team in the MLB this season. Adding to their misery was the humiliating score as the Yanks scored two runs and surrendered 12 in return.
Several Yankees fans were upset about their loss as the White Sox smashed six runs in the seventh inning. It came as a surprise to many as Lusi Gil suffered the loss, giving up four earned runs in four innings pitched. In hopes of turning things around, the Bronx Bombers will turn in their southpaw Nestor Cortes Jr. to the mound as their starter.
Cortes has not been great this season as his record continued to decline (5-10). With a 4.42 ERA, it's time for Cortes to pick up the reigns and prove to be a dominant pitcher.
The White Sox had one of the biggest victories last night in the whole of their 2024 season and that came against the Yankees.
Grady Sizemore, the interim manager for the team recorded his first win and there couldn't have been a better time to do so. Right-handed pitcher Jonathan Cannon will take the nod for his team in Game 2. Cannon has a 2.5 record with a 2.91 ERA.

The Bronx Bombers suffered an unexpected loss. The White Sox opened up at the plate and hit well against a top pitcher. Cortes is in need of a win and this seems to be the perfect time for the Yankees starter to step up his game.
The Yanks are any day stronger than their opponent with their dominant offense and strong defense. Cortes is expected to pick up a win in the second game and tie the series against the White Sox.
Prediction: Yankees -2.5 (-300)
