The Minnesota Twins (7-13 SU, 7-13 ATS) host the Chicago White Sox (3-18 SU, 8-13 ATS) in a battle of the two weakest-hitting teams in the majors. Both teams are batting under .200 as a team, the only teams in the majors with that distinction. Between the two of them, they've scored 112 runs, a lower total than 10 teams have achieved on their own.
This might be the game that Chris Paddack needs after getting whacked at Baltimore. The Twins' pitcher made it into the sixth inning to try to give the bullpen some rest, but the Orioles pounded him for nine runs before he was through. Paddack did pitch well in his first two starts, though, and facing the White Sox might be the tonic he needs to get back on track.

Our Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
There's little to like with Chicago's lineup. The White Sox knew they were going to be a bad team this season, and they have absolutely lived up to that reputation. Chicago did get good pitching from Jonathan Cannon in his major league debut, and the young pitcher represents reason to hope on the South Side.
But the White Sox still lost that game, and Minnesota and Paddack have a strength that Cannon doesn't: the Twins' bullpen. For all of Minnesota's faults, the Twins know that if they get a lead to the seventh inning, they have a good chance to hold it. With a 2.84 ERA, the Twins' bullpen ranks fourth in the majors. Chicago's bullpen isn't a horror show, but it's also not a strength. And that gives the Twins the edge in the late game. Given the White Sox's struggles, our prediction for Chicago vs. Minnesota is Twins -1.5.
Prediction:
Twins -1.5
