The current betting odds have the Twins listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Twins haven't looked good lately as they are starting to lose more games now but they still kept the series opener here close and with the division battle getting very tight, they will be hungry to get a win out of this series and possibly even the series win depending what happens on Saturday. The White Sox have played very well lately while manager Tony La Russa has been away from the team, winning 3 straight games now but the pitching matchup is not in their favor for this game. Lucas Giolito is starting for the White Sox in this game but he is definitely not the pitcher he has been in past seasons, and he hasn't looked very good in his starts lately either. He gave up 5 runs in his last start alone and has been doing that throughout the entire month of August as well. Dylan Bundy is starting for the Twins and he hasn't been great this year either but he has been improving a lot lately and just pitched a gem of an August as he didn't give up more than 2 runs in all of his starts. He will continue to pitch well here as he has been doing lately and the Twins will be able to score runs on Giolito here with how bad he has been. The best way to place a bet here is on the Twins to win this game.
