Chicago at Minnesota

This is the second game of the doubleheader, making this is eighth road game for Chicago over the last 12 contests. That's not good for a pitching staff ranked #26 in team ERA (4.99) and a defense that ranks #26 in errors allowed. 23-year-old Lucas Giolito (3-6, 7.53 ERA) is forced to start the nightcap, with an awful 30-37 strikeout to walk ratio in 55 innings pitched. He's allowed a whopping 93 base runners in those 55 innings. He's already lost to the Twins here this season, 4-0, allowing five hits, five walks and four runs in 6+ innings. The White Sox are on an 18-45 run on the road, including 15-43 away against a team with a winning home record. Minnesota plays its sixth straight home contest after winning three straight against Cleveland all as a dog, scoring seven runs each time. Back the home team playing well in the second game of this doubleheader. Play Minnesota.
