Minnesota at Chicago

The Minnesota Twins have surprised a lot of people, as they were not projected as a team that could contend for a playoff spot. Yet here we are a third of the way through the September stretch drive and the Twins sit just one game behind the Texas Rangers for the final AL Wild Card spot. Ervin Santana has pitched his best as of late, and is off a pair of dominating outings, where he has allowed 12 hits 1 run, and has fanned 21. Chicago will go with Erik Johnson, making just his second start of the season, and despite winning his first time out he allowed three HRs. The Twins have been roughing-up right-handed pitching at 8-2 in their last 10, while the Pale Hose have been out of focus after an off day, dropping five straight. Take Minnesota.
