The Chicago White Sox have something the NY Mets wished they waited for, and that is the maturation of Phil Humber, a one-time prized Mets farm-hand. Humber has All-Star quality numbers at 8-4 and a 2.69 ERA. Humber has made 17 starts this season for the Sox, and has not allowed more than 4 runs in any of them. That puts Chicago in a strong position vs. the Twins who come into this game at 17-39 in their last 56 following a loss. Put Carl Pavano on the mound after a game where the Twins gave up 5 or more, and the Twinkies are 0-8 in his last eight starts in this situation. Take Chicago in this one.
