Minnesota Twins

While their team batting average and run production are modest, they have hit 136 home runs this season. On the mound, Zebby Matthews will look to stabilize a pitching staff that ranks 15th in MLB with a 4.26 ERA. The bullpen has 22 saves but has struggled overall with a 4.24 ERA and low strikeout numbers.
Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox have been struggling recently, losing six of their last seven games, including a 1-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The team's offense has been problematic all season, ranking near the bottom in scoring, batting average, and home runs. Despite this, Lenyn Sosa has been a standout with a .271 average, 17 home runs, and 55 RBI. Aaron Civale will start on Friday with a 3-8 record and a 4.88 ERA. He has had mixed results since joining Chicago, but has a history of struggling against the Twins. The team's bullpen is ranked 17th with a 3.98 ERA.
