The Chicago White Sox (3-18) take on the Minnesota Twins (7-13) Monday in the opener of a 4-Game set at Target Field at 7:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Twins odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: First meeting; Twins won 9-4 last year
The White Sox are becoming an abomination, losers of 9 of 10, and they kept it within a run in just 1 of those losses. 3B Yoan Moncada (thigh) and OF Luis Robert Jr. (hip) are on the IL, and the White Sox are last with 2.1 runs/game, a .188 BA, .264 OBP and .288 SLG%.
The Twins are also flailing with SS Carlos Correa (oblique) out. They’ve lost 6 of 7, and the Twins are 28th with 3.4 R/game and 29th with a .195 BA. OF Byron Buxton is hitting just .217 with no homers and 9 RBIs on the young season. On the plus side, though, the Twins have beaten the White Sox in 7 of 8 games.

White Sox at Twins picks and predictions
Prediction
Twins 4, White Sox 2
Moneyline
The Twins are heavy favorites for good reason, but we’re not taking a 7-13 team at -200.
PASS and look to the spread.
Run line/Against the spread
We mentioned in the opener that of the White Sox’s 9 losses in the last 10 games, 8 of them were by multiple runs.
The Twins’ offense is nothing to write home about since it has scored more than 4 runs once in 10 Games. The White Sox have scored 11 runs in 6 Games.
Take the TWINS -1.5 (+100).
Over/Under
The White Sox are 5-5 O/U in their last 10, and the Twins are 5-4-1. With both teams struggling to score runs, this one goes UNDER 8.5 (-115).
