Minnesota Twins vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the White Sox in this one. I don’t trust either starter, Matthews or Fedde, but the White Sox have Fedde at home where he has been better and the White Sox need to take advantage of these kinds of spots if they’re going to take the step forward and make the playoffs. I think Chicago finds a way to get it done in this one, so give me Chicago.
