While Chicago has the number two spot in the division, the Twins are right behind them at three. The Division is led by the Cleveland Guardians, who have already clinched it. The White Sox have lost five straight games after having a wonderful run that brought them to the second spot. They want to maintain their lead against the Twins, so winning Game 2 is important.
Minnesota, meanwhile, is not having a great run either. They have lost four of their last five games but have a win in this series. Playing at home, the Twins would like to win the series no matter how difficult that could be. Game 2 is going to be the most important game of the series. It will be interesting to see if the series goes to the decider or ends here.
There are only two wildcard spots left but many teams competing in the AL. The league has now reached a very interesting stage where every game matters for teams who are still in contention for the playoffs.

They have fared similar in terms of their numbers for the season. However, Cueto carries a slightly better ERA (3.15) compared to Winder (4.20). As Chicago is desperately looking for a win, the best pick has to be Cueto.
