MLB Field of Dreams 2021 matchup: Yankees vs. White Sox odds
The classic baseball movie Field of Dreams featured actor Kevin Costner as Ray Kinsella, who helped bring baseball to farmland in Dyersville, Iowa. That movie location still stands. On Thursday night, the Yankees and White Sox are scheduled to take the field constructed nearby, making them the first two teams to play a regular-season matchup there.
At 63-51, the New York Yankees are looking for any and every win as they continue to hold onto hopes of another playoff appearance. Tonight they’ll send leftie Andrew Heaney to the mound with his 7-8 record, 5.45 ERA, and 126 strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the White Sox are all but guaranteed their spot in the postseason. Their 67-48 record leads the AL Central with the second-place Indians 10 games back. Chicago’s All-Star Carlos Rodon (9-5, 2.38 ERA) will get the start Thursday and hope to keep the Yankees quiet at MLB Field of Dreams 2021.
The Yankees head into the game with multiple injuries including Gerrit Cole, Corey Kluber, and Luis Severino. The White Sox have catcher Yasmani Grandal listed on the 10-day IL.
The MLB odds for this game have the White Sox listed as a -160 favorite, with the comeback on the Yankees at +145. The over/under number is set at 9.5.
One thing’s for certain, longtime fans of the classic sports film and diehard baseball fans will eagerly be watching to see how this game plays out. Will there be home runs? It could be the first time an MLB longball travels into a cornfield to make some major league history!
