Free Pick August 18:Chi. White Sox (65-54) at Minnesota (69-50)

Pick: Minnesota -145

Why?
The Twins are on a roll, winning 8 of their past 9 games. In the 13 times they played the White Sox this season, they won 9 of those meetings. Tonight on the mound the Twins send out their best pitcher Francisco Liriano. The lefty has been real consistent this season so you know what to expect tonight. The Twins batters have been great against right handed pitching. They are batting .285 against right handers this season and .300 in the past 10 games.

The White Sox have struggled in Minnesota. In the last 26 games in Minnesota they lost 21 times. To add salt to the wound, the White Sox hate playing against a left handed pitcher. Hello Liriano! The White Sox have lost all momentum these past 2 weeks. At one point they were leading the division, now they're 4 games back having lost 7 of their past 9 games. Do not look for the White Sox to turn their fortune around against the Twins on the road. Someone give Ozzie Guillen a drink after this game, because he's going to need it.

Yesterday's pick was a winner! As I said, the Phillies will take a commanded lead once the bullpen comes in and they did just that. Expect my prediction to go the same for tonight's game. Leave your comments and follow us on twitter @ProlineExperts
