Past Expert Picks
Minnesota @ Chi. White Sox | 09/17 | 12:10 AM UTC
OVER 8.5
Lucas Giolito starts for the White Sox tonight and he has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since last season, but he has struggled against the Twins. In two starts this season, he's allowed 11 runs in 8.2 innings and has an ERA of 9.35. Then there's Jake Odorizzi, returning from the IL to make his first start for the Twins since Aug. 21. He's had better luck against the White Sox in the past, but the 2020 White Sox offense is a monster. Oh, and the wind is blowing out to dead center tonight. It's going to be a high-scoring affair.

Chi. White Sox -145
There is no hotter team in baseball than the White Sox. They have won 22 of their last 27 games and 14 of their last 15 at home. Chicago has the best record in the A.L. and leads the circuit in batting average and HRs. The Twins send out Jake Odorizzi, who is 0-1 with a 8.50 ERA and 3-4 in his career vs. the White Sox. He hasn't pitched in almost a month. Lucas Giolito is 4-2 on the season but 4-6 in his career vs. the Twins, including 0-1 this year with a 9.35 ERA. The Twins are struggling a bit on the road. Expect a strong start from Giolito.
