STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP
Connor Prielipp — LHP, Twins
- 2026 ERA: 4.11
- WHIP: 1.29
- K/BB: 3.0
- Last 3 starts: 15.2 IP, 8 ER, 14 K
- Pitch mix: Slider-heavy lefty with mid‑90s fastball
Prielipp’s slider is his out pitch, generating a 34% whiff rate. His issue has been early‑inning command, often needing 20+ pitches in the first.
Concern: White Sox right‑handed bats (Robert, Vaughn, Colás) feast on lefties.
Jared Martin — RHP, White Sox
- 2026 ERA: 3.67
- WHIP: 1.22
- K/BB: 3.5
- Last 3 starts: 18.0 IP, 6 ER, 16 K
- Pitch mix: 96 mph fastball, sharp slider, curve, change
Martin has emerged as one of Chicago’s most reliable arms. He attacks the zone and induces weak contact.
Concern: Minnesota’s right‑handed hitters (Correa, Miranda, Jeffers) hit high‑velocity fastballs well.
