Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
The Twins are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re the better team on paper, and they’re throwing out an all-star caliber pitcher in Lopez. The Twins should win this game. However, outside of last night, the Twins have been awful across the board. The Twins aren’t hitting the ball, and their pitching staff has been bottom-five in all of baseball through five games. Burke has also been great through four career starts, allowing 15 hits and three earned runs in 25 innings while striking out 15. It’s a small sample size, but the White Sox have something there. I’ll take a stab with the White Sox and the big plus money.
