The Chicago White Sox will be a big dog tonight when they open a 3-game set against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. Ivan Nova is expected on the bump for the White Sox and he has been throwing flames. Over his last 3 starts, Nova is 2-0, with a nasty ERA of 0.41, and a WHIP of only 0.86. The Twins, who have gone 1-5 in their last 6 home stands, are expected to send Kyle Gibson to the rubber. Over his last 3, Gibson is 1-1, with an elevated ERA of 5.62, and a 1.69 WHIP. The White Sox are 5-0 in Nova’s last 5 starts and 4-1 in his last 5 turns against teams with a winning record. A play on the boys from the south side is worth a shot.
