White Sox vs Twins Prediction

The White Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 head-to-head meetings against the Twins, but the Twins are 3-2 in their last 5 meetings in Minnesota. Over is 7-3-1 in their last 11 meetings.

In this White Sox vs Twins Prediction, the Twins are coming as -154 home favorites. I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup, as Richardson has not been in the best form lately, with a 5.14 ERA across his last 5 starts, while Martin has been weaker on the road, with a 4.58 road ERA. Minnesota’s offense has been red-hot lately, with 5+ runs in five of their last six games, and both bullpens have 4.00+ ERA. Yesterday’s game had 11 total runs, and with both teams with nothing to play for, I expect another high-scoring affair. Take the over 9 runs.
