Chicago at Minnesota

The rebuilding Chicago White Sox are 22-45 on the road and getting worse, off an 11-1 defeat here yesterday. The offense is trending downward at #25 in runs scored, and #26 in on-base percentage, with the worst record in the AL. Chicago is on a 15-34 run, including 14-39 on the road. Miguel Gonzalez takes the mound and is decent at home but 3-7 with a 5.29 ERA on the road. Minnesota is #11 in runs scored on offense, #10 in on-base percentage, on a three-game win streak, plus taking 10 of 14. The Twins are just one game behind the New York Yankees for the first Wild Card spot and have won six in a row at home. Minnesota starter Bartolo Colon may be 100-years-old, but he still knows how to pitch, with the team 4-1 his last five starts. He comes off a 6-1 win at Toronto allowing one run in 6+ innings and the home team holds all the cards again. Play Minnesota.
