Dallas Keuchel and JA Happ faced off as poposing pitchers last week, with the White Sox lighting up Happ in less than three innings. Keuchel didn’t have a good outing either, but the White Sox bats gave him a big enough lead. The White Sox are still have the highest OPS in the league against lefties despite being shut down by Mike Minor is their last spot. Take the value in the White Sox on the road.
The White Sox covered all three games against the Twins in their last series, and I see no reason why they should have any issue Monday. This pitching matchup is a repeat of the 13-8 Chicago victory on April 12 and I tend to believe that J.A. Happ gets shelled again. Though it likely wont be as bad as the nine runs Happ allowed while only recording 10 outs last time, I do think the hot bats get to him and that White Sox pitcher Dallas Keuchel will be able to keep the Twins at bay. Play the run line (-1.5, +140).
Look, don't overthink this: The White Sox have just two losses -- TWO! -- since the start of last season against lefty pitchers and Minnesota is starting southpaw JA Happ (2-1, 4.26). He was rocked for nine runs in just 3.1 innings last time out at the White Sox. Minnesota also has been terrible at home with a 7-13 record.
