The Chicago White Sox took care of the Minnesota 4-3 on Thursday and now take on the Cincinnati Reds. With the win, Chicago clinched their first postseason berth since 2008. Jose Abreu kept his hot bat going 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs. Reynaldo Lopez went 5.1 innings, giving up three runs on four hits and struck out six. Jonathan Stiever will get the start for the Sox today. He is 0-0 with a 2.45 ERA and 3 strikeouts this season.

The Cincinnati Reds are coming off a 1-0 win in their last outing. Luis Castillo pitched seven scoreless innings giving up just 3 hits and he struck out ten. Tejay Antone is expected to start today against the Sox. He is 0-2 with a 2.76 ERA and 37 strikeouts this season.

Chicago is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings between these two teams. You could expect a bit of a letdown after clinching a playoff spot. The White Sox need to keep winning games if they want to keep the top seed in the AL. The Sox bats have been hot and you want them to remain hot going into the playoffs.

Play on the Chicago White Sox.
