Sox at Twins 9/16/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

AL Central Division rivals will clash on Monday night, when the Chicago White Sox visit the Minnesota Twins. On Sunday, Chicago was unable to protect a five-run lead entering the eighth inning of an 11-10 road loss against Seattle. Yoan Moncada collected three hits and scored two runs for the White Sox, who lost for the 84th time.

Twenty-five year old righty Reynaldo Lopez (9-13 5.35 ERA) will take the mound for the White Sox in this matchup. Last time out, Lopez was rocked for six runs in four plus innings during an 8-6 home loss versus Kansas City.

The Minnesota Twins have split their last ten games and lead Cleveland by 4.5 games for first place. On Sunday, Minnesota committed four errors and racked up 13 hits during a 7-5 road loss against Cleveland. Eddie Rosario hit two home runs in a losing effort for the Twins, who are 33 games above .500 overall.

The Twins will turn to talented right-hander Jose Berrios (12-8 3.63 ERA) in the series opener. In his last start, Berrios allowed just two hits across seven innings during a 5-0 home victory versus Washington.
