The Chicago White Sox will meet AL Central rivals the Minnesota Twins. The White Sox have won six of their last nine games including a sweep of the Cubs over the weekend. The Sox offense has been firing on all cylinders as they have scored 21 runs in their last three games. The rich get richer as Jimenez has returned and hit two home runs yesterday and they get Louis Robert back today. Lucas Giolito will take the mound for the Sox today, he has posted an 8-8 record with a 3.98 ERA with 145 strikeouts this season. In his career against the Twins, he has gone Giolito is 6-7 with a 4.73 ERA and 78 strikeouts.

The Twins have been on a nice run having won five of their last eight games. The Twins will turn to Beau Burrows for today's start. He is 0-0 with an 11.00 ERA and six strikeouts this season. Against the Sox, he is 0-0 with a 13.50 ERA and four strikeouts.

When these two teams meet, you can count on five-hour games and a lot of things happening. Chicago has scored at least five runs in seven out of the last 10 meetings. The over is 10-4-2 in the White Sox last 16 games in the first game of a series. The Twins have scored five or more runs in five out of their last six games overall and have averaged four runs against Chicago this season. The over is 32-15-4 in the Twins’ last 51 games against a team with a winning record. I am looking for plenty of offense between these two teams.

Play on the OVER. This is an 8* play.
