Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins 7/16/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Saturday MLB schedule will get underway with a matinee between the Chicago White Sox and the Minnesota Twins from Target Field. Included in our MLB Picks for today is this interesting pitching AL Central matchup in what should be great division match-up.

The White Sox have been marred by injuries and have failed to live up to expectations through the first half of the season. Dynamic OF Luis Robert leads Chicago with 12 home runs and 54 runs batted in.

Thirty-five year old righty Lance Lynn (12 6.97 ERA) has not been sharp through his first six starts. Last time out, Lynn was tagged for eight runs in four innings during an 8-4 road loss against Cleveland.

The Minnesota Twins are the only team in the AL Central Division with a positive run differential and will head into the All-Star Break in first place. In this era of the long ball, Minnesota 1B Luis Arraez has used a line drive approach to lead the majors with a .343 batting average. Despite owning a subpar batting average, OF Byron Buxton leads the Twins with 23 home runs.

The Twins will give the nod to twenty-nine year old righty Dylan Bundy (5-4 4.68 ERA) on Saturday. In his last start, Bundy allowed four runs in five innings during a 6-5 road victory against Texas.
