Twins vs White Sox Prediction
The White Sox are a team I’ve backed a lot this season because they’ve played well and oddsmakers keep disrespecting them. However, Fedde has been awful this season with a 5.40 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, and he’s allowed 32 hits and 20 runs in his last 20 innings. In 22.2 road innings, Fedde has a 7.54 ERA and a .300 batting average allowed. Bradley has been far more trustworthy with a 3.21 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 56 innings. With the quick turnaround, home field, and the better pitcher on the bump, I’m rolling with the Twins and the reasonable price.
