My Prediction
Minnesota Twins by 2Looking at this matchup between Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox, a few things stand out right away.
Our starters on the mound are Pablo Lopez for the Twins and Sean Burke for the Sox. Now, Lopez has been a bit shaky this season with a ERA of 3.60 while Burke, in his one appearance, didn't allow a single run. Impressive yes, but with just one game under his belt, doesn't that leave you feeling a tad uncertain? It's like relying on a weather forecast from a groundhog.
Glancing at the Twins line-up, they've got a few decent players. Castro, Larnach, and Bader, all are chugging along decently, though there's no one really standing out and shouting "notice me!"
Turning our gaze to White Sox, they sure have an interesting range of top players. I mean, look at Michael A. Taylor, Brooks Baldwin, Andrew Benintendi; they sound less like a ball team and more like a law firm! All jokes aside, those batting averages seem mildly promising for the White Sox fans.
Looking back on their recent skirmishes, the Twins and White Sox can only be described as inconsistent, like a seesaw ride. Remember folks, don't eat a corndog before a seesaw ride.
On the win-loss front, neither team has an impressive start this season. The Twins are sitting at a rather pitiful 0-4, and White Sox are precariously perched at 2-2. This feels like a match between the wannabes and the barely-getting-theres.
Let’s not forget the venue, Chicago's very own –Guaranteed Rate Field (no, money back guarantee isn’t included). It’s a mildly batter-friendly park, so if we're looking for a good old fashioned slugfest, place your bets.
All said and done, after considering every bit of this statistical potpourri, I would predict a small edge for the Minnesota Twins. The margin is still up in the air, but let's just say a nice round number like 2 shall we?
