The pitching staff has a 4.12 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. Eddie Rosario is leading the team with 15 doubles, 22 home runs and 68 RBI. Max Kepler has added 23 doubles, 25 home runs and 68 RBI.
White Sox fall to Marlins

MLB Betting Trends
Minnesota
The Twins are 4-1 in their last five series openers and 31-13 in their last 44 division games.
Chicago
The White Sox are 6-1 in Giolito’s last seven home starts, but the Sox have lost nine of their last 10 games on grass.
Prediction:
Giolito has been a shining star for the White Sox, posting some very solid numbers. He threw five scoreless innings against the Twins earlier this year. However, Giolito doesn’t get much help from his hitters and bullpen. Berrios is a solid pitcher that the White Sox are likely to struggle with. In two starts against the Sox, Berrios has a 2.57 ERA with nine strikeouts and no walks. Minnesota has struggled as of late, but played some good teams. I think the Twins will get back on track against the struggling White Sox.
MLB Prediction: Minnesota Twins -155
