I love the Sox here as they return off an awful road trip. They have been great at home winning 21 of their last 26 games and are 22-7 in their last 29 meetings with the Twins. This will be a must win type of series and they needed to play a team they have had a lot of success against. The White Sox will face Deduno for hte first time and he's just a different pitcher on the road with a 4.68 ERA and a .292 opponents average. He has major control issues with 5.74 BB/9 so the White Sox are going to get plenty of chances for good pitches to hit. Deduno only walked 1 guy in his last two starts, as he is being more aggressive as he put it, but being aggressive vs. an aggressive team like the White Sox will give him major issues. I have a feeling he will be off as this is just his 4th road start on only 4 days rest. He's got a 6.60 ERA in the previous 3 starts and the White Sox are scoring 5.65 runs per 9 vs. RHP at home while the Twins are only scoring 3.34 vs. LHP on the road. The White Sox have also had a lot of success vs. RH starters who walk a lot of guys. They beat Jiminez twice, Yu Darvish and took 2 of 3 from Justin Masterson forcing the trio of high walk per 9 guys to post a 6.68 ERA.
