White Sox and Twins, Remaining Schedules

by Peder on Jul 6, 2008 5:03 PM CDT

Thought it might be interesting to compare the remaining schedules to see if either team has a big edge over the other for the rest of the season. I split the AL teams into three general categories.

Good teams: Tampa, Boston, LA and Oak

Average teams: NY, Baltimore, Toronto, Detroit and Texas

Bad teams: Kansas City, Cleveland and Seattle

Minnesota's remaining games (with home and road splits)

TB 4 0/4
Bos 3 0/3
LA 4 0/4
Oak 7 3/4

NY 6 3/3
Bal 3 0/3
Tor 3 0/3
Det 7 3/4
Tex 3 3/0

KC 9 6/3
Cle 9 3/6
Sea 9 3/6

White Sox remaining games (same splits)

TB 3 3/0
Bos 7 4/3
LA 3 3/0
Oak 3 0/3

NY 4 0/4
Bal 3 0/3 (and postponed game end)
Tor 4 4/0
Det 9 6/3
Tex 6 3/3

KC 15 6/9
Cle 6 3/3
Sea 3 3/0

And probably the biggest games left for either team, the White Sox play seven more games versus the Twins, all at the Metrodome. Outside of the head to head games, I'd give an edge to the Sox. Add those games back in...let's just say that I hope they've overcome the dome curse.

perhaps of note

is that while the twins have player 12 more games at home than away (50 of 88 games), the sox are pretty much at an even split of 45 home, 43 away. considering the home/away record of the twins, one can expect some regression merely because of that.

If there's a baseball equivalent to "never fight a land war in Asia," Vizzini might tell us "never buy the decline years of a player."

I agree...

They aren’t so hot away from the shit-hole Twinkie-dome. I am expecting them to lose some games before the All-Star break.

Fearless, SSH

CWS: Slashing negative expectations since May, 2008.

Yep

Also, note that they’ve played the top teams at home.

Good post on Twins/Sox schedule

Sox fans should hope that the Twins do not schedule the Mdewankaton Indians from near-by Prior Lake to conduct a pre-game dance. This happened several years ago and Buehrle lost a tough game when the Sox second baseman made an error which allowed Kielty to hit a game winning homer. The Mdewankaton indians massacred 500 Minnesotans in 1862 but they now run a casino and hex visiting American League teams, especially the White Sox.
