The Chicago White Sox took yesterday's game from the Kansas City Royals, 5-2 yesterday Luis Robert's walk-off three-run home run. The Sox got another good start from Dane Dunning who had a no-hitter after five innings. He gave up just one walk and struck out seven. The White Sox are tied for first place in the AL Central Division and will look to keep things going with Lucas Giolito taking the mound. He is 3-2 with a 3.09 ERA and 58 strikeouts this season.

The Minnesota Twins have lost five in a row and were swept by the Detroit Tigers after a 3-2 loss Sunday. The Twins offense was able to generate just 5 hits in the game. Kenta Maeda took his first loss of the season after 4 wins. He didn't pitch badly, giving up three runs on six hits and striking out eight in six innings. work. Rich Hill gets the nod against the Sox. He is 1-1 with a 3.55 ERA this season with 8 strikeouts.

Chicago is 10-2 in their last 12 road games and 7-1 in their last 8 games within the division. Minnesota is 0-5 in their last 5 games within the division and 1-9 in their last 10 games as a home underdog. Rich Hill has shown an ability to hang around and the Twins usually play up to the better teams, but I just think the White Sox have a chance to make a statement in this series at the midway point of the season. I’ll lay the juice with the White Sox on the road here.

Giolito is coming off a no-hitter in his last outing. There have been 4 no-hitters since 2018 and in their next start, 3 of the four allowed one run or less. The Twins didn't hit against the Tigers over the weekend, dropping all three games. The sox have gotten healthy and anybody up and down that line-up can knock the ball out of the park. This is a perfect chance for the Sox to put some distance between them and a division rival.

Play on the Chicago White Sox.
