Chicago at New York

The New York Yankees were left for dead in the AL as the injuries took their toll early, and the lineup was not able to produce anything on a consistent basis. That lineup has taken on a different look with Alfonso Soriano, and healthy stars. The Yankees have gone 15-7 in their last 22 and have crept to within 2.5 games within claiming wildcard spot. The pitching matchup in this one is pretty much a dead heat, so the difference is the Yankees' bats, the better pen, and home field where they are 41-28 on the season. Chicago has sputtered on the road all season at 24-46. Sale has been a run worse than he has been at home, with just four wins on the road. Chicago is just 13-38 in their last 51 on the road vs. a winning team. Play on the Yankees.
