Latest from Rotoworld: Quintana pitched seven innings of two-run ball Friday in a win over the Blue Jays. It’s Quintana’s first win since May 2, though the White Sox had won three of his seven starts since. Nothing has come easy for Quintana this year, but he’s used to that by now. We still think he’ll be far better from here on in.
Turley was tagged for eight earned runs, nine hits and four walks across 4 2/3 innings in a loss Friday against the Indians. Turley threw just 43 of his 76 pitches for strikes and he looked overmatched for the second time in as many starts since his recall from Triple-A Rochester. He is 0-1 with a 12.46 ERA and an unsightly 2.42 WHIP through 8 2/3 innings. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him returned to the Red Wings after this disaster.
Bet Today’s White Sox vs. Twins Game
OUR PREDICTION: Quintana looked like Quintana in his last start but Chicago has struggled to beat Minnesota when he’s on the mound. The White Sox are 1-5 in Quintana’s last six road starts versus the Twins and are winless at 0-5 in his last five outings overall versus Minnesota. The White Sox have also dropped four straight to the Twins, who have won 11 of their last 14 games when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game.
