Expect some runs to be scored in this game with the wind blowing out at Guaranteed Rate Field and Chris Flexen on the mound. The Chicago starter lets a lot of balls get into play with his 12.4 K% but has posted a fortunate .244 BABIP this season. The Twins have been white-hot, winning nine straight games, and I expect their offense to come through. I'm backing Larnach as a value play in this lineup as he has four straight games with two hits and five straight with 2+ bases, and four of those have come against this White Sox staff, but feel free to pick your favorite Twin to back instead.
Twins have won 9 in a row, a streak that began with them beating up on these same Pale Hose, including a game in which Chris Flexen couldn't get through the third inning. Flexen has allowed 13 ER in his last 3 starts, only one of which went beyong 4 1/3 IP. Twins bats are in a much better spot now, and White Sox have had some late-inning heroics of late but have been slow starters at the plate all season.
