Chicago at Minnesota

The Chicago White Sox have a better road record than Minnesota has at home. Chicago won yesterday's contest as a dog, 6-5, and the White Sox are 7-3 when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game. White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon is an excellent strikeout pitcher (91 Ks in 92 IP) and faces a Minnesota offense that is #17 in runs, #20 in on-base percentage, and strikes out a lot (sixth most). Minnesota is 19-46 following a loss, plus 8-26 against a team with a losing record. The Twins are also 2-10 in Ervin Santana's last 12 home starts, and the White Sox are 9-2 when these division rivals clash. Play Chicago.
