Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox 7/25/20 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Saturday afternoon MLB action, the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox will play the middle game of their weekend series. Last night, OF Max Kepler homered in his first two at-bats of the season to power Minnesota to a 10-5 victory. Jorge Polanco, Nelson Cruz, and Eddie Rosario scored two runs apiece for the Twins.

Veteran left-hander Rich Hill (4-1 2.45 ERA) will make his first start as a member of the Twins. Through 156 major league starts, Hill is 23 games above .500 and owns a respectable 1.23 WHIP.

The Chicago White Sox have the talent to be a contender in the AL Central Division this season and will be a force for years to come. On Opening Night, All-Star SP Lucas Giolito (0-1) was tagged for seven earned runs and lasted just three plus innings. Yoan Moncada homered and drove in three runs in a losing effort for the White Sox.

Chicago skipper Rick Renteria will give the nod to lefty Dallas Keuchel (8-8 3.75 ERA) in this matchup. The 2015 Cy Young Award winner, Keuchel, gave up 16 home runs and struck out 91 batters in 112 plus innings for the Braves last year.
