The Yankees travel to Chicago today, to take on the White Sox for a three-game set that New York pretty much must win. Chicago has been one the most disappointing teams in the game (for all the Yankees’ faults, well, at least they ain’t the White Sox), and if the Yankees want to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, they’ll need at least two wins in the Windy City, if not a sweep.
Setting aside the Yankees’ baggage, though, we do have the potential for a great one-off game tonight. Gerrit Cole will square off with Dylan Cease, Chicago’s ace and one of the more talented pitchers in the AL.
