Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Twins here. I’m not really rushing to bet this game, as the line is hefty for a Twins team that’s not playing all that well. However, there’s no backing the White Sox right now, and Martin was absolutely smoked when he faced the Twins last year. Ober’s big issue in his career has been giving up home runs, and the White Sox just don’t have the power in their lineup to make Ober pay for any mistakes. I think the Twins get the win here to start the series on the right foot. Give me Minnesota in this one.
