Minnesota Twins vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the White Sox here. I just think that the White Sox lineup is one that’s going to provide a lot of value in spots and while Joe Ryan’s been really solid and has really good numbers in his career against the White Sox, I still don’t trust this Twins bullpen and I think that Chicago picks up another W in this one. Give me the White Sox.
