My 10* LEGEND Play is on the Min Twins at 2:10 ET.
The Minnesota Twins went just 73-89 in 2021 (20 games behind the division-winning White Sox), after winning the AL Central in 2019 and 2020. Chicago ended an 11-year postseason drought in 2020 with a wild card appearance and then ran away with the American League Central title last season with a 93-69 record, winning the division by 13 games over Cleveland. However, it's the Twins who have had the slightly better season. The Twins were having a bounce-back 2022 season, owning a 5 1/2-game lead in the American League Central on May 24. However, that division lead has turned into a one-game deficit in the Central behind Cleveland. as the Twins are just 40-48 since that high mark. The Twins enter the final game of their three-game series in Chicago on a three-game slide. Chicago is the defending American League Central champions and were the presumed favorites to repeat coming into the 2022 season. However, as the calendar shows September, it's time to put up or shut up for the White Sox. Are the White Sox finally going to make the "big push" everyone has been waiting for? The White Sox take a four-game winning streak into Sunday's game, after they won 13-0 last night, with Cease almost pitching a n0-hitter.
Sunday's starters are Dylan Bundy (7-6, 4.53 ERA) and Lucas Giolito (10-8, 5.27 ERA). I've NEVER been a fan of Bundy and was shocked when he opened 3-0 with an 0,50 ERA in April. Bundy quickly returned to earth, as the Twins lost NINE of his next 10. However, in five August starts, he hasn't allowed more than two ERs in any of them, posting a 2.63 ERA. More notably, in EIGHT career starts vs Chicago, he's 5-0 (teams are 8-0) with a 3.61 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. That includes going 2-0 in three starts this season (team is 3-0) with a 2.30 ERA. Giolito was 14-9 (3,41 ERA) in 2019 and then went 4-3 with a 3.48 ERA in 12 starts during 2020 (COVID) plus 11-9 with a 3.53 ERA in 31 starts in 2021. He has NOT been consistent at all in 2022 and what stands out is his 6.86 home ERA, with a BAA of .315!
I loved Cease last night (10* win) but I am still not ready to trust the White Sox. Pitching dynamics here call for a "signature" LEGEND Play in Minnesota.
Good luck...Larry
