The Chicago White Sox (49-35) and Minnesota Twins (35-48) continue a three-game AL Central set Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET at Target Field in Minneapolis. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Twins odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Carlos Rodon is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. Rodon is 6-3 with a 2.37 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 13.1 K/9, and 2.8 BB/9 in 83 2/3 IP through 14 starts.
Rodon is coming off back-to-back 5-inning starts that have seen his ERA rise from 1.83 to 2.37. He allowed 4 ER on 6 H and 2 BB with 9 K across 5 IP in his last outing Thursday against this same Minnesota team.
RHP Jose Berrios is the projected starting pitcher for the Twins. He is 7-2 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 9.1 K/9, and 2.3 BB/9 in 94 2/3 IP over 16 starts.
Berrios struggled in his last start Thursday at the ChiSox, but current Chicago bats own a mere .674 OPS against him. The Minnesota right-hander had logged a 3.07 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over his 7 previous starts prior to the misstep last week.

Money line (ML)
Minnesota won Monday’s series opener, and the White Sox are now 2-8 in their last 10 away from home.
Statcast quality-of-contact numbers peg Chicago as being fortunate in averaging 4.99 runs per game. The Minnesota offense – which has averaged a solid 4.69 RPG – could be even better. The Twins have been held back by low batting averages on balls in play in high-leverage situations.
The TWINS (-105) were a play on Monday and they are here again Tuesday but with a small lean in going against Rodon.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PASS on the extended house edge on the run line prices.
Over/Under (O/U)
There isn’t much of a lean here, but the Twins own a robust .785 OPS since June 1. Figure some slight fade to both starting pitchers. While an even 8 would make for better value BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-110).
