White Sox at Twins picks and predictions
Prediction
Twins 5, White Sox 3
Moneyline
PASS.
I fully expect the Twins to pick up the win here and complete the series sweep, but they are not worth the risk of betting as -250 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN TWINS -1.5 (-115).
Minnesota has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 games. The Twins are also 3-1 ATS in their last 4 matchups vs. Chicago and 6-4 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
The White Sox are only 1-9 in their last 10 games, so their cold streak makes this bet slightly safer.
This is a very slight lean as both teams have been bad ATS this season, with the Twins being 9-14 and the White Sox being 9-15.
Over/Under
BET OVER 7.5 (-115).
The Over has hit in back-to-back games of this series. Chicago is 4-1 to the Over in its last 5 games while Minnesota 5-3-1 to the Over in its last 9 games. The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 Chicago-Minnesota meetings.
