Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins preview
The White Sox are limping through another brutal campaign at 45-82, sitting dead last in their division while the Twins (58-68) are fighting to salvage something from a disappointing season of their own.
Joe Ryan takes the mound for Minnesota with solid career numbers - a 3.65 ERA across 609 innings - but he'll face a Chicago offense that's managed just 3.84 runs per game, ranking 27th in baseball.
Davis Martin counters for the White Sox carrying a 7-20 career record and 4.29 ERA, tasked with slowing down a Twins lineup that's hitting .238 but has shown some pop with 144 home runs.
The bullpen battle heavily favors Minnesota, as Chicago's relief corps has blown 18 of 41 save opportunities for a dismal 48.6% save rate compared to the Twins' 56.1%.
Both teams have struggled defensively this season, with Chicago's .982 fielding percentage ranking 27th while Minnesota sits at .987, making clean baseball a premium in this matchup.
With the over/under set at 8.5 runs, expect a grind-it-out affair between two clubs that have combined to allow over 1,100 runs this season.
