Chicago White Sox vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Twins in this one. It just boils down to the Twins being the far more trustworthy team at this point in the year and I’m not even sure the White Sox have any interest or hold any stock in being viewed as a team that’s going to be able to play spoiler against teams in the playoff hunt. Fedde’s been solid, but I think it’s just a case of the offense behind him being hard to trust and I think the Twins get another W here. Give me the Twins.
