The pennant 'race' in the AL Central is quickly disappearing.

The Minnesota Twins have really been doing a number on the Chicago White Sox lately as the Twins have won 6 in a row to open up a 5 game lead in what was a very competitive division not too long ago.

Minnesota and Chicago will play game 3 of their series tonight in a game that starts at 8:10pm ET and the Twins have an opportunity to bury the Chi Sox even deeper in the standings.

Chicago have Mark Buehrle on the mound who is 11-9 on the year with 4.05 ERA.  He is a left hander but Minnesota have done reasonably well against the lefties this year as they are 25-17 against the southpaws.

Carl Pavano takes the mound for Minnesota and he gives his team a great chance to win tonight's ball game.  At 15-7 and with a 3.27 ERA Pavano has been a star for his team this year - and especially lately.  In his last 7 starts Pavano has won 6 decisions and he has also been strong against Chicago in his most recent history against the Sox having won both starts this season with Chicago in town.

Good odds on the Twins to win tonight an be found with the following three sites:
