The Chicago White Sox (76-77) are set to begin a 3-game series against the Minnesota Twins (74-79) Tuesday. First pitch from Target Field is at 7:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Twins odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Twins lead 7-6
The White Sox had a solid start to September, winning 12 of their first 17 games. However, Chicago has lost 6 consecutive games by getting swept by the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Guardians in 3-game series.
It has been a forgettable season for the Twins and September hasn’t been kind to them. Minnesota has lost 7 of its last 8 games and the team has posted a dismal 7-17 record in September.

White Sox at Twins picks and predictions
Prediction
White Sox 5, Twins 4
Money line
Give me the WHITE SOX (-125) in this game as I believe they are the better overall team. Chicago may have lost 6 straight games, but it is still competing for the final wild-card spot in the AL.
The White Sox have won 6 of the last 8 meetings with the Twins and Minnesota has lost 4 straight games to AL Central teams.
Run line/Against the spread
While I believe the White Sox pull out the victory, I’ll PASS on the spread in this game. It depends on what version of Lynn shows up to determine whether or not Chicago can win by multiple runs in this game.
The Twins should be able to keep it close, but their odds to cover the spread aren’t worth taking straight up.
Over/Under
OVER 6.5 RUNS (-122) seems like the ideal choice with inconsistent pitchers taking the mound. We only need 7 runs in this game and there’s a possibility for 1 of these teams to score that by themselves.
The Over has hit in 4 of the last 6 meetings between the White Sox and the Twins when the game takes place in Minnesota.
