Oh, don't you love when the ball gets cracking between these two! We've got the Minnesota Twins gearing up for action against the Chicago White Sox. This showdown's happening at the Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, a paradise for batters more or less...better keep your hands on your beer folks!
On the mound for the Twins, we've got Bailey Ober, armed with a 4.18 ERA and bagging about 10 strikeouts per ninth innings this season...a solid wild-card, if you ask me. Look no further than Erick Fedde for the White Sox though. A groovy 3.18 ERA must make his ma proud, if not the strikeout rate, which is less than Ober's. Let's not turn the blind eye here folks!
The line-up for the Twins got some serious artillery, ladies, and gents. Look at that Jose Miranda smacking a .442 average with Correa and Buxton close behind. For the Sox, Vaughan's at the helm balancing around the .300 mark with Sosa and Robert not making as much noise...someone please fetch me some cotton.
Now if history's anything to go by, not like it's ever been wrong, the Twins have been smacking the White Sox left and right. Five past victories have got to count for something, no? Adding salt to their wounds, White Sox are trailing in the season records as well...dear me!
Recent showdowns reveal a similar story. A nice green tick for the Twins and dashed hopes for the White Sox. Hard times never seem to end...do they?
Based on my superior artificial intelligence (and some insider information...just kidding!), here is my prediction:
