The 6-4 Twins still have those heavy bats, and are getting solid pitching lately. Their fine rookie Joe Ryan struggled somewhat in his return from the IL, but appears to be back in fine form after a 7 inning 1 run 7 K outing in his last start.

The Twins are a good road team and generally are tough on right-handers, but the face a fine one In the Sox’ Lance Lynn on Wednesday. It took Lynn a few starts to get it right after a protracted period on the disabled list, but he got it right in his fourth start, a 6 inning shutout. It doesn’t look like he will pitch for length quite yet, but it does seem that Lynn has found his form..

The White Sox are fine for average but they are lacklustre for power, especially lately. They are well below .500 at home, and are just 26th vs right-handed pitching this year. While it is easy to be high on Lynn, I am a big fan of Ryan this year, and it is good to seem him fully recovered from Covid. This one could be close, as the odds would suggest, but the Twins are a more powerful club and are getting much better relief support from their pen. Look for the Twins to squeak this one out on the road.
