Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox Predictions 5/2/2023

Despite having only eight victories, the White Sox are not the poorest club in their division. The Royals, who have seven wins, deserve this honor.

Is this what Southsiders may anticipate from their team for the foreseeable future, or did Chicago underperform? The White Sox rank 22nd in terms of runs scored per game (4.07), batting average (.235), and OPS (.675).

They swung 28 long balls this year, ranking 21st, and took 18 bags, ranking 20th. While 1B Andrew Vaughn leads the team in OBP (.358) and RBI (20), LF Andrew Benintendi leads the team in hits (27) and batting average (.281).

The Chicago pitching staff has a 29th-place 5.96 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with eight solid starts. For the home team on Tuesday, Kopech is selected.

In his last start against Toronto, he took the loss after allowing four runs on six hits over five innings. The four-year veteran pitched for the White Sox this season in 25.2 innings, striking out 27 hitters while walking 16.

The Chicago White Sox are 1-10 SU in their last 11 matches.
The Chi White Sox are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games at home.
The White Sox are 5-2 SU in their last 7 matches at home against Minnesota.

Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Minnesota Twins.

The Twins had better splits (.248/.322/.426/.748) versus right-handers than against left-handers (.193/.265/.360/.625), with 35 doubles, 30 home runs, 110 RBI, and 74 walks against righties.

Kopech only had one strong start in five appearances in 2023, so they should feel at ease at the bat.

Kopech has allowed three or more walks in four of his five starts, so Minnesota should be able to put runners in scoring position with ease and take advantage of any errors he makes at the middle of the plate in such circumstances.

Ryan, who was annihilating the competition this year, will probably have trouble facing the White Sox.

In his previous three appearances combined, he has allowed only one walk while giving up just ten earned runs in 32 innings.

Chicago has a worse OBP (.292), 190 strikeouts, and only 49 walks in 770 at-bats versus right-handers. The Minnesota Twins will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
