Harper, Manny Machado Masahiro Tanaka Jersey , Dallas Keuchel, Craig Kimbrel and Marwin Gonzalez are among the biggest names still available before pitchers and catchers start reporting for teams Feb. 11.Harper would seem to be in line for a big contract whenever he signs. The 26-year-old is a six-time All-Star, the 2015 National League MVP and has a .279/.388/.512 slash line in seven seasons.

The Yankees remain one of the best and most dangerous teams in the league even though they may not win the division title, and they will give newly-acquired Lance Lynn (7-8  http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton -jersey , 4.89 ERA) the starting nod here in the series opener.Lynn came over in a trade with the Minnesota Twins and performed well in his first outing with his new team, throwing 4.1 scoreless innings in relief of Sonny Gray last Wednesday, allowing five hits with no walks and five strikeouts to earn the start. Why the White Sox can pay on the MLB linesChicago is a young team without much to play for at this point of the season, which can actually be a good thing. The White Sox are playing loose and could perform the role of spoiler against some playoff contenders down the stretch. Chicago split four games with New York at the end of June and made backers money as an underdog each time.Dylan Covey (4-7, 5.57 ERA) will get the call in this spot and try to end a personal two-game skid for the White Sox  http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton -jersey , who have won only one of his previous eight starts. Covey's best outing recently for Chicago though came on the road versus the Seattle Mariners, as he gave up just two hits in 8.1 scoreless innings with two walks and five strikeouts. Smart betting pickIt is hard to support the Yankees at this price in what looks to be a major letdown spot after losing a key series to the rival Red Sox. The White Sox are hot and may not win this series, but they are a good play to continue their winning streak against Lynn.MLB betting trendsNew York is 0-5 in its last five games on the road.Chicago is 4-1 in its last five games.The total has gone over in six of Chicago's last seven games at home.All MLB odds and betting trends according to Bleacher Report's official odds partner, OddsShark.
