Team Analysis
New York Yankees
The Yankees’ 5-0 record in their last five games with 9.2 runs per outing confirms an offense in peak form. Aaron Judge’s power production keeps opposing pitchers in constant pressure situations, while Cody Bellinger’s consistent ability to drive in runs adds stability throughout the order. Their 34-32 road mark reinforces that this lineup travels well, and the current streak underlines confidence at the plate.
Over the last 10, the Yankees have gone 7-3 with 6.3 runs per game, proving this recent surge is not a fluke but an extension of steady offensive rhythm. Giancarlo Stanton’s ability to add extra-base damage deepens the lineup, ensuring that even secondary hitters contribute to run production. With power numbers ranking among the league’s elite, New York Yankees’ bats are positioned to overwhelm weaker pitching staffs like Chicago’s.
- Batting Average: 0.252
- Total Runs Scored: 702
- Home Runs: 228
- OBP: 0.332
- SLG: 0.458

- ERA: 3.96
- WHIP: 1.26
Away Record: 34-32 • Home Record: 41-28
Last 5 Games: 5-0 (9.2 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 7-3 (6.3 RPG)
Chicago White Sox
The White Sox’s 1-4 mark in their last five games with only 3.6 runs per outing highlights an offense struggling to sustain momentum. Lenyn Sosa has shown flashes of production, but overall run support has been inconsistent, leaving the team vulnerable when facing high-scoring opponents. Their 29-41 home record shows little advantage at this venue, further diminishing confidence against a surging Yankees squad.
Across the last 10 games, Chicago has gone 3-7 while averaging 5.0 runs, a number that inflates due to a few isolated outbursts rather than consistent production. Miguel Vargas and Andrew Benintendi have contributed, but the lack of sustained power makes it difficult to match teams that string together big innings. With the Yankees already punishing this pitching staff in recent meetings, Chicago’s current form provides little reason to expect a reversal.
- Batting Average: 0.233
- Total Runs Scored: 528
- Home Runs: 134
- OBP: 0.302
- SLG: 0.373
