Pick

The Twins come into this game cruising in the AL Central and they have pretty much locked up the division, while Chicago is looking towards next season. The White Sox are only 29-42 at home this year and they are starting Jose Urena, who has allowed 10 earned runs in his last 12.1 innings of work. Minnesota is starting Kenta Maeda, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. I like the Twins -1.5 in this matchup.
