The Yankees offense this year has been pretty steady but have had periods of very hot and cooling off.  The last few games the Yankees have been crushing the ball and tonight get another matchup with the Chicago White Sox.  I'll be looking to back the Yankees offense and here's why:

Looking at the starting pitcher matchup, the Yankees will be going up against Dallas Keuchel.  On the season Keuchel is 2-3 with a 6.86 ERA and 2.10 WHIP.  He is allowing a .497 wOBA to Left-Handed Batters and a .354 wOBA to RHB's.  The Yankees have hit Left-Handed pitchers well this year with a .324 wOBA and a .214 ISO.  They are scoring slightly better on average vs LHP's:



Looking at the advantage vs the starting pitcher a first five team total bet seems to make sense, let's check how the Yankees have been doing:



The Yankees had a slight dip over the past week and a half but looking at their last 3 games they are starting to trend back upwards.  When the Yankees bats are hot, I will definitely back them, and with Keuchel on the mound, love the Yankees to get to him early.

Bet: NY Yankees o2.5 Team Total First Five Innings -110 (DK)
*Of note, DraftKings have been giving out 25% boosts for MLB today, I did use one on this game but will track at -110*
