7:40 PM ET Rate Field YES

Attack Noah Schultz with Yankees bats and stacks, as New York's power profile lines up perfectly against a struggling lefty.

Schultz has been hittable and wild all year, while the Yankees carry one of the league's most dangerous power attacks.

CWS4.0

The de-vigged team totals sit at NYY 4.5 and CWS 4.0, and the road ML of -148 reads fair rather than soft given the offensive edge. With the Yankees starter unconfirmed, the number is hard to beat with conviction. The total of 8.5 matches the combined implied runs almost exactly, offering no clear value.

The Yankees probable is not confirmed, so half this pitching matchup is unknown and any full lean carries that risk. Schultz misses some bats at 7.85 K/9 but pairs it with heavy free passes, and his elevated hit rate suggests the stuff is not consistently fooling hitters. On the confirmed arm alone, the edge is against him.

1.44 2 HR / G —

9.08 5 K / G —

New York's lineup is power-heavy but strikeout-prone at 9.08 K/game, so they profile as a boom stack that can either punish Schultz's mistakes or fan against a lefty who does get whiffs. The White Sox offense data was not provided, so their shape and matchup fit cannot be assessed here.

DFS Angles

Stack the Yankees against Schultz, tying their league-leading power to his high walk and hit rates in a neutral-wind park.

Fade Schultz for DFS given his 6.04 ERA; the Yankees starter is not confirmed, so avoid rostering an unknown arm until the probable is set.
