Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins preview
The White Sox find themselves in familiar territory this season, sitting at 45-82 and continuing their struggles at Rate Field as they host a Twins squad that's been equally disappointing at 58-68.
Minnesota brings a slight edge in offensive production, averaging 4.2 runs per game compared to Chicago's 3.84, though neither club has set the world on fire at the plate this year.
Joe Ryan takes the mound for the Twins with a solid 3.65 career ERA and impressive strikeout numbers, facing off against Davis Martin, who's been battling consistency with a 4.29 ERA and a rough 7-20 career record.
The pitching matchup heavily favors Minnesota, as Ryan's 1.039 WHIP and 3.59 FIP suggest he's been much sharper than Martin, whose 1.322 WHIP indicates frequent baserunner trouble.
Both bullpens have been shaky this season, with Chicago's relievers posting a dismal 48.6% save rate and Minnesota's unit blowing 18 of 41 save opportunities.
With the Twins entering as road favorites at -145, this late-season matchup could come down to which team's starting pitcher can provide more innings and keep their struggling relief corps off the field.
