Twins vs White Sox Prediction 

These two teams played a very entertaining game one to start this series and they will look to keep the offenses going here. Minnesota is 26-38 on the road this year, while the White Sox are 26-37 at home. Neither one of these teams has much motivation to win this game, but the Twins are the better team. Minnesota hasn’t announced a starting pitcher yet, which is beginning to become a trend. Chicago is going with Martin, who has allowed 0, 3, 5, 2, and 3 earned runs in his last five starts. I do think we will see plenty of offense once again, but I like Martin and the White Sox to get the win.
