This is an 8* play on MINNESOTA

As expected, Minnesota had little difficulty beating the White Sox on Thursday. It was a 10-3 win in the series opener and the Twins will need more of those if they are too hold off hard-charging Cleveland (two games back) in the American League Central race. Chicago is 16 games back and really should be even further behind given they've now been outscored by more than 100 runs in 100 games played. They had their best pitcher on the mound last night (Lucas Giolito) and still lost big, so just imagine what might happen here. It's now Dylan Cease's turn to face a Twins team that is scoring 6.1 runs/game on the road. Cease has a 6.19 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in three starts with the team losing the last two. Michael Pineda goes for the Twins and the number of times he's allowed more than three runs in a start is "one" since May 5th! The Twins are 12-4 as a road favorite of -125 to -175 this season. They're underpriced. Play on MINNESOTA
