The White Sox kick off the franchise’s most exciting season in years Friday night with an Opening Day matchup against the Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field. A young, talented roster won’t get to play in front of fans this season, but a shortened 60-game campaign could open the door for a playoff run to whoever gets hot early.

Lucas Giolito, coming off a breakout 2019 season, makes the Opening Day start against Twins ace Jose Berrios. The evening should also serve as the awaited debut of Luis Robert, the power-hitting center fielder who the Sox locked up with a $30 million contract before he had a single big league at-bat.

The Twins should serve as a very challenging matchup as the widely regarded favorites of the AL Central entering the season. Few teams in the league have a lineup as balanced as Minnesota, which had above-average hitters at every position last year.

The White Sox should have a pretty strong lineup of their own, too, with veteran additions Yasmani Grandal and Edwin Encarnacion adding to the team’s young core. Here’s how to watch their first game together this year.
