Chicago at Minnesota

It is hard to justify the Twins here against a much better White Sox team at pretty much even odds. Sam Deduno has pitched respectfully well, but 7 of his last 10 starts have been vs. losing teams. He also lost to this same White Sox team less than two weeks ago, so they now have a book on him as well. Francisco Liriano has not pitched well this season, but he really stepped-up when facing his old teammates, allowing just 2 runs over 6 innings to get the win in his only start against them. I expect him to be fired-up to deliver again. The White Sox are coming up big when facing a team that allowed 5 or more runs in their previous game at 28-7 in their last 25 in this spot. The Twins have been downright ugly as a home dog where they are now just 22-50 in their last 72. Play on the White Sox.
