#912 ASA PLAY ON Minnesota Twins -1.5 on the Run Line (-110) over Chicago White Sox, Thursday at 2:10 PM ET - We will mention the starting pitching too but this play has to do with the overall mismatch and the horrid start the White Sox have had to this season. We were a little leery of the Twins bats and have stayed away from this series so far because of that. A win by just one run in Game 2 of the 4-game set validated the caution. However, the Twins did win big again yesterday and are now going for the 4-game sweep and 2 of the 3 wins in this series have been by at least a 3-run margin. The White Sox are simply dreadful overall and also at the plate! Chicago has scored an average of only 2.2 runs per game this season! Their record is now 3-21 this season and they have gone 1-12 away from home! They have lost 6 straight and have gone 1-11 last 12 games with an aggregate average score of 6.4 to 2.0 in those games. Yes they are not only losing but losing bad and we expect that to continue here. The Twins have scored 19 runs so far in this series and confidence is increasing. Chicago's Soroka is 0-3 this season and has struggled badly in 4 of his 5 starts this season. Minnesota's Woods-Richardson had a great first start this season and though he has had some struggles in the minors this season, he was solid against the Tigers and will take advantage of facing the worst hitting team in baseball here plus he has the luxury of pitching at home. 15 of Chicago's last 18 losses have been by a multi-run margin and, per our computer math model, this one plays out in similar fashion. Another ugly loss for the White Sox. Lay it with the Twins. Minnesota has had a tough early season schedule - look at the teams they have faced and their records - but they are now 3-0 against the only team they have faced that currently has a losing record on the season and that is these downtrodden White Sox. Lay the 1.5 with Minnesota
