More MLB picks: Minnesota Twins · Chicago White Sox

The Twins enter this matchup on a 1-4 slide over their last five games, producing just 4.0 runs per contest, while the White Sox have been far more explosive at 7.4 RPG in the same span. That scoring gap is a clear signal in this MLB prediction, especially when factoring in Chicago’s ability to push games above the total. Minnesota Twins’ road form has been shaky all season, and with the White Sox showing offensive rhythm at home, the betting edge tilts decisively toward Chicago and the Over.

Team Analysis

Minnesota Twins

The Twins’ 1-4 mark over their last five games highlights a team failing to generate sustained confidence. Averaging 4.0 runs in that span, they have lacked the consistency to pressure opponents on the road. Byron Buxton has provided power, but the overall lineup has not translated individual production into wins away from home, where their 26-39 record emphasizes vulnerability.

Brooks Lee and Trevor Larnach have chipped in offensively, yet the results remain neutral at best over the last ten games, with a 3-7 mark and the same 4.0 RPG output. This lack of momentum combined with poor road form makes the Twins unreliable in moneyline markets. Their inability to string together wins has left them trailing opponents who are finding ways to manufacture more runs.

  • Batting Average: 0.238
  • Total Runs Scored: 534
  • Home Runs: 147
  • OBP: 0.31
  • SLG: 0.395
  • OPS: 0.705
  • ERA: 4.27
  • WHIP: 1.29

Away Record: 26-39 • Home Record: 33-31
Last 5 Games: 1-4 (4.0 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 3-7 (4.0 RPG)


Chicago White Sox

The White Sox have been more effective offensively, scoring 7.4 runs per game across their last five contests despite a 2-3 record. Lenyn Sosa continues to deliver run production, and Mike Tauchman has been a steady contributor in getting on base. Their home record of 27-37 is not dominant, but it provides a stronger baseline than Minnesota Twins’ road struggles, giving Chicago an edge in this matchup.

Over the last ten games, Chicago has averaged 5.1 runs while going 3-7, which still marks them as a side capable of pushing totals higher. Miguel Vargas has added depth to the order, elevating the team’s ability to score at home. The White Sox’s recent ability to create high-scoring games positions them as a live underdog with value, especially against a Twins team that has faltered away from home.

  • Batting Average: 0.232
  • Total Runs Scored: 497
  • Home Runs: 126
  • OBP: 0.302
  • SLG: 0.371
  • OPS: 0.673
  • ERA: 4.2
  • WHIP: 1.37

Away Record: 19-46 • Home Record: 27-37
Last 5 Games: 2-3 (7.4 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 3-7 (5.1 RPG)

Over/Under Trends

Chicago White Sox’s last 10 games have averaged 10.6 combined runs, with 5 games clearing the same number of 9.

Moneyline Betting Prediction

Chicago’s recent scoring surge, highlighted by 7.4 runs per game over the last five outings, outweighs Minnesota Twins’ offensive inconsistency on the road. With Lenyn Sosa and Miguel Vargas contributing to a more productive lineup, the White Sox are better positioned to capitalize against a Twins team that has dropped seven of its last ten. Factoring in Chicago’s home environment and recent head-to-head success, the White Sox are the sharper moneyline play in this matchup.

We rate the Chicago White Sox at +115 as the right side at current form.

Over/Under Prediction

Recent five-game scoring: the Chicago White Sox are at 7.4 RPG and the Minnesota Twins at 4.0 — a useful baseline against the total.

These teams are combining for 11.4 runs per game recently — above the posted total of 9.0. That points toward the Over 9.0.
