Twins Need to Sweep This Series

The Twins won the first game of this series, and they are going to really need to sweep this series. The Twins scored 10 runs, and they ended up winning by eight. Royce Lewis hit a home run and drove in four RBIs. Christian Vasquez finished with a hit, and he drove in two RBIs. The offense is ranked 8th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 17th in the league. Ryan Jeffers has hit 15 home runs and driven in 50 RBIs. Carlos Correa is still dealing with a heel injury, and he just suffered a setback that is going to keep him out longer. Getting the start for the Twins will be Bailey Ober who sits with a 10-5 record and an ERA of 3.76. In his last start against the Detroit Tigers, he went eight innings, giving up one hit and zero runs. Ober is going to need to dominate here. 

Why the Twins Will Beat the White Sox

• The White Sox have lost each of their last 17 games after playing the previous day.
• The favorites have won each of the White Sox's last 16 games.
• The White Sox have failed to cover the run line in nine of their last 10 games against American League opponents that held a winning record.
• The favorites have covered the run line in six of the Twins' last seven games.
• The White Sox have trailed after 5 innings in each of their last four road games against American League opponents.

White Sox Have Lost 18 in a Row

At some point, the White Sox will win again, but it wasn’t on Friday. The White Sox scored two runs, and they ended up losing by ten. Davis Martin went 3.2 innings, giving up six hits and four runs.  The offense is ranked 30th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 29th in the league. Andrew Vaughn has hit 13 home runs and driven in 48 RBIs so far this season. The White Sox were big sellers at the trade deadline, and at this point they are just hoping this season can hurry up and get over. Getting the start for the White Sox will be Garrett Crochet, who tanked his trade value at the trade deadline, and the organization isn’t very happy with him. He currently sits with a 6-8 record and an ERA of 3.23. In his last start against the Seattle Mariners he went three innings giving six hits and five runs.

Chicago White Sox vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

The Twins are going to get this game out of control early. Crochet in his last start gave up five runs and the Twins offense is going to tee off on him. Bailey Ober is going to be the real difference, though, as he’s going to lock down a White Sox offense that is so bad. This is a game that the Twins could win by nine or ten runs, and it wouldn’t really shock me. Back the Twins -1.5 to cash here.
