Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox 5/4/2023 Picks, Predictions and Tips

In Major League Baseball action on Thursday, April 4, 2023, the Minnesota Twins will face off against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in Illinois. The Twins had a similar position at the beginning of the 2022 season, leading the American League Central division. However, they had a slower second half due to some unsuccessful trade deadline deals. The Twins are coming off a 3-1 series victory against the Kansas City Royals. In their series-opening game against the White Sox on Tuesday night, the Twins were only able to collect three hits and eventually lost 3-2 in ten innings.

Taking the mound for the Twins in the final game of the series will be right-hander Pablo Lopez, who was acquired through trade to add depth to the team’s starting rotation. He currently has a 2-2 season record and a 4.00 ERA, with three strong starts out of a total of six. In 36 innings of work, he has given up 31 hits and has an impressive 11.5 K/9 ratio. He has had two strong performances out of three starts on the road, and his K/9 rate away from home is 11.3 percent this season.

  • The Minnesota Twins are 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
  • Minnesota is 8-6 in their road matches against the spread.
  • The totals went OVER in 2 of the Twins’ last 5 matches.

Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox 5/4/2023 Picks, Predictions and Tips

The Chicago White Sox had a plan to win the AL Central Division for the second time in three years and compete in 2023. The plan has worked out so far. After losing 10 games in a row and 14 of their first 17 games, the White Sox won the last game of the series against Tampa Bay. They also beat the Twins 3-2 in 10 innings on Andrew Benintendi’s walk-off single and made it three wins in a row with a 6-4 victory on Wednesday night. Elroy Jimenez drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning for the White Sox.

The White Sox will send Lucas Giolito, a veteran right-hander, to the mound. Giolito is 1-2 with a 4.15 ERA in six starts, three of which were solid outings. He has allowed 35 hits, including four homers, in 34.2 innings. He has an 8.8 K/9 ratio and a 1.18 WHIP. Giolito is 2-0 at home with a 1.42 ERA and a 9.2 K/9 rate. Giolito’s overall numbers are not great, but he has been more unlucky than bad. His hard-hit percentage is actually almost 4% lower than last year and his walk rate is down from 8.7% to a career-low 4.1%.

  • The Chicago White Sox are 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
  • The Chi White Sox are 7-9 in their road matches against the spread.
  • The totals went OVER in 3 of the White Sox’ last 5 matches.

Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Chicago White Sox. The Twins fell to 8-6 on the road this season with their game-one loss in the series. They have a poor road batting average of just .216. They have to face Giolito, who has been great at home and not hit too hard this season. The White Sox get a boost from SS Tim Anderson, who has only played 12 games this season. The White Sox are 3-15 without him in the lineup. Lopez has pitched well on the road this year, so don’t expect a lot of runs in the series finale. Prediction: The White Sox will win 6-2.
