The Yankees have dominated their current series against the White Sox, scoring double digit runs in both games. Winners of eight out of their last nine games, a bat that has stepped right in and contributed has been Jasson Dominguez. In all three games he has returned since Saturday, he has cleared his combination prop line. Take Dominguez to do so for a fourth straight game tonight against the White Sox.
Miguel Vargas had some tough luck last night when two balls hit incredibly well stayed in the yard. He hit one at 104mph exit velocity that traveled 403 feet but was caught and another that was tagged similarly but became an out, leaving him with two very hard hit balls that amounted to nothing. Vargas still had an early double and looks locked in with a near 1.200 OPS vs. lefties, while southpaw Ryan Weathers is struggling to avoid home runs of late. I'm backing Vargas to have a great game on over 1.5 Hits, Runs and RBI, but the Total Bases isn't a bad pivot. Also playing 1+ walk (+145) as they might pitch around the righty slugger with lefty, Colson Montgomery, behind him.
I'm on Ben Rice over 2.5 Hits, Runs, RBI (+120) as well tonight, but the total bases at this price is a fine alternative. With it, I'm playing Rice for 1+ walk at +102 on Draftkings for 0.5u. Sean Burke has had issues with walks to lefties, tallying 20 in 42 innings thus far, with 38 hits and six home runs allowed. If not for an incredible diving play that saw Everson Pereira smash into the outfield fence last night, Rice would have had a ringing double off the left-center wall. Hitting a ball at 104 mph and sending it 400+ feet usually results in a hit, so if he can continue smashing the baseball like that, he'll have a great shot at two bases.
It’s going to be warm and windy, and blowing out to left at around 20 mph. That makes for some favorable conditions for homers and runs. Making it even more favorable is the pitching matchup. Yankees LHP Ryan Weathers has given up seven home runs over his last three starts, White Sox RHP Sean Burke has a 5.82 ERA his last seven games. Four of the last five Yankees games have totaled 10 runs, and five of the last six Sox games have had at least 11.
