It's only a 17 game deficit. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Starting Pitchers
Anthony Swarzak makes his first start since mid July. He's been fairly good this year, but he's been pitching well below his xFIP (4.82) due to a very low BABIP allowed (.265) and a low home run rate (5.6% HR/FB). I expect at some point Swarzak's peripherals will catch up to him. The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if tonight's the night.
Zach Stewart was part of the White Sox' return for trading Edwin Jackson at the trade deadline. Since joining the White Sox, Stewart has been up and down with a solid start against the Twins earlier this month, 6.1 innings, one run allowed.
