Money Line: 123.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox.

I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The White Sox have won 3 games in a row now and they have looked a lot better in those games too. They have finally been stringing some wins together against division opponents and I expect them to get another win here now that their offense has been picking up lately. They put up 12 runs on the Twins yesterday but they have been putting up a ton of runs in their 3 most recent games and that is great since this offense has some really good players in their lineup, now they are performing though. Their pitching has also been great in their previous 3 games since they have only given up 3 runs total in those games. The Twins haven't looked great lately as they have been cooling off, losing 2/3 of their previous 3 games and they have just 2 wins in their previous 7 games. Their offense hasn't really put up more than 3 runs on average in their 3 most recent games and their bullpen has been terrible over the last week giving up a ton of runs in a lot of games. Devin Smeltzer (4-2, 3.92 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has been good for most of the year but he has had a really bad July in his 2 starts already and I think he is starting to unravel a bit. He has had a few blow up performances this year but he gave up 3 runs in 6 innings his 1st start of July and now in his most recent start he has given up 7 runs in less than 4 innings. His strikeouts are also way down while his hits given up or increasing and this is a terrible time since he is facing a White Sox lineup that is getting really hot. The White Sox are going to beat up on him here and I expect them to put up a ton of runs again in this game. Michael Kopech (2-6, 3.35 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great all year. He has been giving up a lot of runs in his starts lately but I expect him to bounce back since he was 1 of their best starters for a majority of the year before getting injured and now he actually has a bullpen behind him that has been pitching really well lately. I like the White Sox to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 White Sox.
