Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the White Sox in this one. Joe Ryan dominated the White Sox in his last start, but it’s hard to beat the same team twice in a one week span, especially when the two teams are headed in different directions. The Twins are struggling mightily right now and the White Sox have continued to play well offensively despite Murakami being out of the lineup. I think we get a strong showing here from the White Sox at a great price so give me Chicago here.
