The New York Yankees will look to continue their winning streak when they face the Chicago White Sox tonight. The Yankees, after enduring a cold stretch that saw them fall to third place in the AL East, have won four straight games, placing themselves right back into divisional contention. The White Sox have, of course, endured another losing season, but they would love to play spoiler to one of the biggest teams in the majors here.
Leading the charge to win New York's fifth straight game is starting pitcher Will Warren. Warren has been a consistently mediocre force for the Yankees, posting a 4.47 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP in his 27 starts this season. He does enter this game on the heels of one of his worst starts of the year, as the Boston Red Sox smacked him for five runs over four innings in Warren's last time out. The White Sox present a significantly easier matchup, opening the door for a rebound from the righty.
The Yankees will have to contend with one of the best pitchers in Chicago's rotation. Davis Martin has been a rare bright spot on a struggling White Sox roster, earning a 3.93 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP in 20 total appearances. Despite those solid numbers, Martin only has five wins on the year, an indication of how poor Chicago has been offensively and in relief pitching.
