Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox Prediction

Heading into Wednesday’s AL Central matchup between Minnesota and Chicago, the oddsmakers have this game as a pick’em. However, I give the edge to the Twins, as Joe Ryan should continue his strong season against an inconsistent White Sox lineup. Look for Chicago to struggle against Ryan and his WHIP of just 1.05. I like Minnesota on the moneyline.
