The 15-13 Minnesota Twins will go for their ninth win in a row when they face the 6-23 Chicago White Sox tonight in the second game of their 3-game set on the south side. The Twins’ recent success, with the exception of the 3-game sweep of the Angels, has been at the hands of the White Sox, winning all 4 in Minnesota last week and taking game 1 last night in Chicago. Tonight’s expected starter for the Twins is Simeon Woods Richardson and he has been delivering since he was called up. The young gun is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA and a WHIP of only 1.00. The White Sox are expected to have Michael Soroka on the hill and he is not off to a good start. Soroka is 0-3 with an elevated ERA of 6.83, a 1.69 WHIP, and Chicago is 1-5 in his last 6 starts. The Twins have the edge in every conceivable category imaginable and the only way they lose this one is if they just take it for granted.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA TWINS
