The Chicago White Sox pounded the Minnesota Twins 16-4 yesterday in the first game of their series. The White Sox have won 10 of their last 13 games. The White Sox have won 13 straight games when scoring four or more runs. The Sox will look to keep things going by sending Lance Lynn to the mound. He has been great this season, posting a 4-1 record with a 1.30 ERA and 44 strikeouts this season. Against the Twins, he is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA and 12 strikeouts. The Twins have been in a slump losing seven of their last eight games. They are .333 baseball at the moment, this from a team that was expected to contend in the AL Central. The Twins will look to get things turned around with Michael Pineda making the start. He is 2-2 with a 2.79 ERA and 39 strikeouts this season. Against the Sox, he is 5-4 with a 3.38 ERA and 58 strikeouts. The Sox are playing great right now and the offense is clicking despite the loss of two of their best players. Chicago is better on the mound, at the plate, and have a lights-out bullpen. I like the Sox at this short number.

Play on Chicago.
