The White Sox have been on a role lately, but in this game the Twins are going to best the White Sox. The White Sox are putting Lynn on the mound and this season Lance Lynn has struggled to do good and has given up quite a few runs. Not to mention the Twins are coming in with a better hitting team and a better middle of the lineup which should be able to rough Lynn up as well. For the Twins with Bundy on the mound they could do good, but could go bad. Look for several solid innings from the starter and the Twins bullpen to bail the game out here.
