MLB Betting Trends
Minnesota
The Twins are just 1-5 in their last six Sunday games and 9-3 in Gibson’s last 12 road starts.
Chicago
The White Sox are just 5-21 in Covey’s last 26 starts and 1-7 in their last eight division games.
Prediction:
Covey has struggled most of the year, blowing up in a fair number of games. He has a 6.00 ERA against the Twins this season. Gibson hasn’t been lighting the world on fire, but he’s a little more predictable and safe than Covey. He has a 1.29 ERA against the Sox this year and Minnesota is the better lineup on most days. As long as the Twins bats don’t go silent again, they should be just fine.
MLB Prediction: Minnesota Twins -215
