Teams — New York carries a .727 OPS and 505 runs scored, backed by a strong 3.40 team ERA and 1.18 WHIP. The Yankees are 6-4 over their last 10, and their profile is balanced, with slightly better pitching support than Chicago. The White Sox have a .725 OPS and 514 runs scored, with a 4.13 team ERA and 1.30 WHIP. Chicago is 5-5 over its last 10. Offensively, the two clubs are very close by OPS and total runs, but the White Sox have allowed more baserunners and have been less efficient on the mound overall.
