Money Line: -135.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Win
The White Sox are 20-33 straight-up on the road, and the Twins are 27-22 SU at home. Minnesota owns the fifth-best record in division games this season (19-12) and is 38-27 as a betting favorite. Chicago's record as an underdog, 22-43, is the fourth-worst in MLB.
Giolito has pitched pretty well this season, especially against the Twins. He held them to one run and two hits in seven innings on May 4 and gave up one run and five hits in six innings at Target Field on April 12. As the saying goes, the third time is the charm.
Minnesota is having its most productive month at the plate in July, slashing .254 BA/.335 OBP/.461 SLG/.796 OPS, averaging five runs per game. With these teams headed in opposite directions in the standings, the home team will flex its muscles in Sunday's series finale, riding another quality starts from Ober (ten QS in 2023). The intimidating, 6-foot-9 right-hander hasn't faced Chicago yet this year but held the Sox to three runs and nine total hits in 17.1 combined frames last season. The visitors, who slash .233/.291/.387/.677 vs. right-handed pitchers, won't stand a chance.
