Twins vs White Sox Prediction
As has been the case for the last three years, the White Sox are a team I’m just not interested in backing. I have even less interest when I don’t know who the starting pitcher is going to be. The Twins don’t knock my socks off either, and Ober has been more bad than good this season. However, Ober has feasted on the White Sox throughout his career, and that includes holding current hitters to a .186 batting average and .222 on base percentage in 43 at bats. A series between two stinky teams, but one team is at home, has a pitcher and stinks a level less. Give me the Twins if forced to pick.
