White Sox (Lance Lynn) vs Twins (Bailey Ober)

The Twins knocked off the White Sox on Tuesday, breaking the division leader’s win streak at four games. Wednesday will be a different story with Lance Lynn on the mound vs rookie Bailey Ober. Lynn has bee a force for the White Sox and shows no sign of tiring down the stretch. He has started 4 times against the Twins this year with great success. In his last two of these starts, he had a pair of 1 run efforts, lasting 6 and 7 innings respectively. He is good pitching on the road and has a 1.85 ERA in his last seven starts.

Ober hasn’t pitched poorly in his rookie season. In his last three starts, he has averaged around five innings and given up 6 earned runs total. Both bullpens have been sharp, no surprise with Chicago and their additions at the deadline. Minnesota’s success is a bit more unlikely.

Both these teams can provide offense, but the motivation will be with the White Sox to get back in their winning ways. Look for Chicago to win outright. The odds are not onerous.
