White Sox (Keuchel) vs Twins (Jax)
The Twins, pounded by the White Sox on Monday, are a team that is treading water, far in the distance in the White Sox’ rear view mirror. After losing Berrioz at the trade deadline, they are likely looking for some starting pitching. Based on Griffin Jax’s recent performance, the rookie’s travels to and from
triple A may be over. He has been very solid in his last three starts, posting a 1.88 ERA since the all-star break, and lasting 5 innings on average.
His mound opponent is veteran Dallas Keuchel (7-5, 4.44). Keuchel is 3 -3 in away starts this year and has an ERA of 5.24 since the All-star break. He is backed by a very sharp White Sox pen, and a solid offense.
The Twins were sellers at the trade deadline but even missing Cruz, still have a very powerful offense and can score a ton of runs. Losing 11-1 smarts, even when you are a cellar dweller, and I am looking for some bounce-back on Tuesday. Their bullpen has been very good in their last seven games, not always the norm.
Keuchel is not quite the pitcher he once was, and hasn’t been especially sharp lately. I like Griffin Jax in this postion. The Twins are at home, off a loss, and still have firepower. Take the Twins with the spread at +1.5.
