T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox

I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Dylan Cease (12-6, 2.26 ERA) will be the starting pitcher for the home White Sox here today. Although he hasn't looked his greatest his past few starts, his numbers don't lie and he's still one of the best starters in the entire league. In his last start against Minnesota, he pitched 7 stellar innings, only giving up 1 hit and striking out 8 in a 11-0 win. Off a few wins now, the White Sox see themselves back ever so slightly in the playoff race. Looking at the Twins, they are one of the streakiest teams in baseball. Before their loss to end the month of August against Boston as well as yesterday's, they had won 4 straight, lost 6 straight and then won 5 straight again. Today, Tyler Mahle (6-7, 4.17 ERA) will get the start for them. He's been out since mid august with a shoulder injury, but he's back. His August was decent, in three starts. But looking at his July starts he wasn't all that good at all. This will be the second game of the series, and if the White Sox steal a few games in this series, they'll definitely boost their odds of making a playoff push to end the season. Give me the White Sox here.

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox
