The Pitching Story
Taj Bradley makes his season debut for the Twins. The 24-year-old righty hasn’t pitched in over a year, so it’ll be interesting to see what he’s got left in the tank.
Yoendrys Gomez goes for Chicago. He’s 3-1 but has a bloated 5.53 ERA. The positive? He’s been going deeper into games lately, lasting at least five innings in his last three starts. He strikes out about 7.5 per nine.
Betting Lines
Minnesota is favored at -141 with Chicago getting +118 as the home dog. The total is 9 runs. Vegas gives the Twins about a 58% chance to win, though one prediction has the White Sox pulling out a 7-6 victory with the over hitting.
How They’ve Been Playing
Neither team is playing well right now. Both the Twins and White Sox are 3-7 in their last 10 games, which pretty much sums up their seasons.
Minnesota hits .238 as a team (24th in MLB) and has 150 home runs. Not great, but better than Chicago’s .232 average (26th) and just 3.9 runs per game.
The Reality
Two struggling teams trying to finish out disappointing seasons. It is hard to admit but the Twins might probably win with Bradley making his return, but both clubs are just looking to get to October at this point.
Injury Reports
Both teams are dealing with several players on the injury list. The Twins have Christian Vázquez (shoulder), Alan Roden (thumb), Simeon Woods Richardson (illness), Pablo Lopez (shoulder), David Festa (shoulder), and Anthony Misiewicz (shoulder) sidelined. The White Sox’s injured list includes Dan Altavilla (lat), Elvis Peguero (elbow), Miguel Castro (knee), Owen White (hip), Drew Thorpe (elbow), Prelander Berroa (elbow), and Ky Bush (elbow).
Still, we love the White Sox here so, let´s Go!
