This is the series finale of a 3-game series with the White Sox on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 7th in the MLB with a .735 OPS. Chris Archer is their starting pitcher on Tuesday while Joe Ryan is making his start in this game on Wednesday. He is 6-3 with a 3.00 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance.

The White Sox were on a 3 game winning streak but now enter this game off of a loss. They won their last series against the San Francisco Giants 3-0 completing the sweep in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 38-40 record overall and have a home record of 16-22. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Twins on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 21st in the MLB with a .686 OPS. Michael Kopech is on the mound on Tuesday while Lance Lynn will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Wednesday. He is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 5 Ks on 3 hits through 6 IP against the San Francisco Giants. 

The current betting odds have the Twins listed as a slight favorite in this game. The Twins are leading the AL Central by just a few games and this is a big series for them as they have a chance to spread the gap between them and the White Sox who currently sit in 3rd place. The White Sox have been playing well recently, sweeping the Giants over the weekend, but they lost the series opener here and the Twins can make a big move by winning this series and adding an extra game for the White Sox to come back from. The Twins have Joe Ryan starting in this game and he has been very good this season, he had a very good start to the season but then got injured. He has come back now though and is putting up similar numbers as he was before he got injured. Lance Lynn is starting for the White Sox here and he has not been having a good season. He has not made many starts this season but he has not been good in those starts and that matches what he has done in past seasons. He is coming off of a good start in his last game where he did not allow any runs but he will turn back into a pumpkin here against a Twins team that has a top 10 offense in the MLB. The best way to place a bet here is on the Twins to win this game.

"I bet a lot of baseball people would pick Luis Arraez as the guy to come up with a guy on second and the game on the line." - Rocco Baldelli after his team’s win against the White Sox on Monday.

 

 

"He's a better umpire than today and in a close game like that, that's a potential difference maker. But when you get beat, you get beat. You don't blame the umpire. He made it tougher for us, but we still had a chance to win." - Tony La Russa after his team’s loss against the Twins on Monday.
