Will Sox Bounce Back Vs. Twins?
The Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins, division rivals, will go up against each other tonight.
The Twins have been a big surprise this season. While many predicted they would be a team that finished toward the bottom and they opened in the future odds at around 50/1, they currently sits with a winning record and are No. 2 in the AL Central.
The Twins’Â opponents tonight, the White Sox have been an all-around disappointment this season. With quality players and expected improvement after just missing the playoffs last season, they sit in last in the AL Central and have struggled all season, particularly when playing away from Chicago.
The Twins have an 8-3 record over Chicago this season and are the favorites to win in this one with a moneyline set at -132. The Twins are 24-14 at home to the White Sox 12-24 record on the road. The White Sox are also 18-33 when playing against teams with a winning record.
The Sox are playing in Minnesota. The Twins won big in the last game in this series 13-2. It seems to be a perfect storm for another big Minnesota win. The White Sox could always bounce back after suffering such a big loss, but Minnesota is playing better baseball than Chicago, period.
