White Sox vs Twins Prediction
Minnesota didn’t generate many hits on Tuesday night, but they were able to score four runs and get a much-needed win. The Twins are 5-5 at home this year, while the White Sox are 1-10 on the road. Chicago has just five wins on the season, and they have scored three runs or fewer in four of their last five games. The White Sox will be going against Festa, who has allowed zero earned runs over nine innings of work so far this year. I really like how Festa pitched against the Mets last time out, and he should have no issues with this White Sox lineup. Take Minnesota -1.5 here.
David’s Pick Twins -1.5
