White Sox vs Twins Prediction
I’m not excited to back the White Sox, but I’m even less thrilled to side with the Twins without knowing who the starting pitcher is. The Twins haven’t won two straight games since August 8. Martin has also been respectable for the White Sox, with a 3.94 ERA and 1.27 WHIP on the season. In 52.1 home innings, Martin has a 3.27 ERA and .249 allowed batting average. There are better bets on the card, but if forced to pick, give me the White Sox at home.
