Minnesota Twins (135) – Tue September 30th ’08 7:35p

The Chicago White Sox did what they had to do yesterday by beating the Detroit Tigers to necessitate this one-game playoff for the American League Central Division title, but we look for the underdog Minnesota Twins to advance to the ALDS with a victory in the Windy City tonight.The White Sox were forced to use they best pitcher this year in Gavin Floyd yesterday just to get to this point, so they are now starting John Danks on three days rest. Now Danks did have an excellent 3.47 ERA overall this year, but he is unproven on short rest and he had not had any success vs. the Twins this year.

In fact, Danks failed to record a Quality Start in four starts vs. Minnesota, allowing a total of 17 earned runs and 29 hits in just 19.1 innings over those outings. He also ended the season on a negative noted, as he was torched for seven earned runs while last just four innings vs. the Cleveland Indians last Friday. It does not help his cause that he is facing a Twins lineup that is batting .295 vs. left-handed pitching over the last 10 games.

Now Minnesota starter Nick Blackburn certainly has modest numbers this year, as he is 11-10 with a 4.14 ERA overall. However, his last start was his best one in some time as he allowed just two run in five innings, and that start happened to come against these White Sox.

Blackburn also has the support of a Minnesota bullpen that finished tenth in the major leagues and sixth in the American League with a 3.94 pen ERA. We feel that ultimately, the superior Twins bullpen will determine the outcome of this contest.
