The Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox meet Wednesday in MLB action at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Twins look for a win after splitting their last six games. The White Sox need a win after losing seven of their last 10 games.
The Minnesota Twins have scored 22 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last seven games. The Twins have won six of their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Nelson Cruz leads the Twins with 70 hits and 42 RBI while Jorge Polanco and Luis Arraez have combined for 119 hits and 51 RBI. Bailey Ober gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 4.64 ERA and 23 strikeouts this season. This will be Ober’s second career game against the White Sox.
The Chicago White Sox have scored 16 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last nine games. The White Sox have lost seven straight games when scoring three or less runs. Tim Anderson leads the White Sox with 77 hits and 26 RBI while Yoan Moncada and Yermin Mercedes have combined for 133 hits and 72 RBI. Dylan Cease gets the ball, and he is 6-3 with a 3.81 ERA and 96 strikeouts this season. Cease is 0-2 with a 9.18 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his career against the Twins.
The Twins are 3-8 in their last 11 Wednesday games and 7-2 in their last 9 overall. The White Sox are 44-18 in their last 62 home games and 2-7 in their last 9 overall. The over is 37-15-4 in Twins last 56 overall. The over is 5-2 in White Sox last 7 overall. The Twins are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings.
The Twins have cooled off over these last couple of days and I’m still feeling Ober out with just 21.1 innings under his belt. The White Sox are showing signs of getting back on track and Cease has been solid this season, which includes allowing two or less earned runs in four of his last six starts. I’ll side with the White Sox at home here.
