I'll go with the Twins to avoid the sweep on Thursday afternoon. Phil Hughes will take the mound for the first time for the Twins and I think he will have a solid season now that he's not in a pitcher happy park. Hughes has pitched well at US Cellular Field 1.38 ERA and he's allowed a .130 average and a .326 OPS to the White Sox hitters in 69 at bats.
Jose Quintana had a solid year last year with an ERA below 4 and that's why we get such a high line here. Quintana had a 3.62 ERA in his career at US Cellular field, but in 4 starts here vs. the Twins he's got an ERA close to 9 as he's allowed 17 ER in 18.2 IP. The Twins collectively have a 1.027 OPS against Quintana who performs better during night games where he has an ERA nearly a run better than day games. I expect the Twins to be in this game with the lead.
