True. The ChiSox will be a much better test for the Twins.

The Tigers failed that test and lost their series against the ChiSox,
but I think the Twins will do much better.

It really helps that our remaining games against the White Sox are all
at home. Looking at the standings, it appears as if only one team,
the Los Angeles Angels, have had any real success on the road this
year.

Yeah. It's been a really weird season. It is really, really unusual for
HFA to be this strong, but it's not just a Twins thing... a lot of really
good teams including the Cubs, Twins, Red Sox, and Rays are just flat-out
bad teams away from home. Other good teams like the Yankees are so-so away
from home.

That's been a recipe for the Twins though in past years, dominate at home,
pull just about .500 away... win the division. I think they can do that
again this year but they're running out of time and I think it's going to
require them to dominate the HTH matchups with the ChiSox. It's not going
to be enough to play .700 ball at home, they'll need to make sure the Sox
are among the teams in the .700.
