The Twins and White Sox begin a four-game series tonight in Chicago. These teams will also meet for three games next week. Both squads will play seven of their next 10 games vs. each other. PointsBet offers Single Game Parlay wagering options for this contest.
Minnesota Twins (+115) vs. Chicago White Sox (-136) Total: 8.5
The Chicago White Sox have won five of the six games they have played vs the Minnesota Twins this season. Lucas Giolito will take the mound for the White Sox tonight with one victory over the Twins already this year. However, this outing could be different. The Twins have won seven of their last 10 and four-straight road games. Giolito on the other hand has not registered a win since May 30th.
PointsBet opened up this game with the White Sox as a -145 favorite. That number has dropped nine points in the Twins favor, despite the majority of the tickets backing the White Sox. There seems to be significant respected money coming in in the Twins.

Kenta Maeda will get the start for the Twins tonight. The veteran was strong in his last outing, allowing only two earned runs while striking out four in route to a win. Earlier this season vs. the White Sox, Maeda went five innings giving up three earned runs in a game the Twins lost 9-3.
In road games this season the Twins are 24-11-1 (68%) to the Over. In the 15 games Lucas Giolito has started for the White Sox this year, they are 7-8 on the Money Line and 8-7 to the Over. I like the Over to cash and the Twins to get upset.
Edge Finder Tip: The Over has cashed in 4 of the 6 Twins and White Sox games this season.
EDGE: Twins +115
