This is an 8* on the WHITE SOX

This shaped up to be a very important series in the AL Central and so far the White Sox have stepped up to answer the challenge. They’ve beaten Minnesota each of the last two nights, 3-1 and 6-2. They now lead the Twins by three games. We like the division leaders to make it three in a row tonight. They’ve got arguably their top pitcher going in Lucas Giolito. The team is 7-3 so far when he starts including 5-0 the last 5 times. One of those was a no-hitter. Giolito hasn’t given up more than 3 runs in any of his last 5 starts and has a 1.03 WHIP for the year. The White Sox are the hottest team in baseball right now as they have won six straight. They are 22-5 their last 27 games and 14-1 L15 at home. They have arguably the best offense in the whole American League. Minnesota has a losing road record and it’s tough to like their chances with Odorizzi starting as he has a 8.10 ERA and 1.60 WHIP his previous three turns and this will be his first time starting since August 21st. A tough spot to return. Play on WHITE SOX
