This is a 10* on MINNESOTA

Seems to be a lot of fanfare surrounding the White Sox coming into the season. But we’re not yet ready to put them in the same class as the two top teams in the division. The Twins are the favorites to win the AL Central this year, as they should be, based on last year’s results. Minnesota was 13-6 vs. Chicago in 2019 and 12-7 head to head the season prior. Friday starter Lucas Giolito was strong for the White Sox last year, but he did have one terrible start against the Twins where he gave up four home runs and seven runs total. If that’s not rough enough, Minnesota’s offense should be even more productive this year. Josh Donaldson is now part of a lineup that set the single season home run mark a year ago. How about Jose Berrios? The Twins starter for Friday pitched quite well in 2019 including FOUR wins over the White Sox in five tries. The Twins are 37-15 their last 52 games as a road favorite, so watch the line. They are also 60-27 their last 87 division games. 10* on MINNESOTA
