Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox
By Matt L. 17 Sep 2020
Today's matchup is between the Minnesota Twins (31-20) and the Chicago White Sox (32-17). The Twins have won 11 of their last 15 games & the White Sox have won 6 of their last 7 games.
The Twins are starting Kenta Maeda (RHP), who is 5-1 on the season pitching a 2.43 ERA, 2.88 FIP, .206 wOBA, K% of 30.6%, BB% of 6.0%, 86.0 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.74 WHIP in 55.2 innings pitched.
The White Sox are starting Reynaldo Lopez (RHP), who is 1-2 on the season with a 5.52 ERA, 6.27 FIP, .392 wOBA, K% of 17.4%, BB% of 6.4%, 90.1 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.77 WHIP in 14.2 innings pitched.
The Twins are 8th in relieving pitchers while the White Sox are 7th.
On the hitting side, the Twins have a .315 wOBA and a .315 OBP. The White Sox have a .341 wOBA and a .338 OBP. The Twins have 75 HRs this season while the White Sox have 80 HRs.
I like the Twins moneyline here. Maeda should give Chicago some problems being that they are 8th in the league batting against RHP's, but the Twins will have their way with Lopez. Once the relievers come in the Twins should be able to close out without White Sox taking the lead.
