The Minnesota Twins will look to avoid a crushing AL Central sweep this afternoon against the Chicago White Sox.

Minnesota's offense profiles very well in August, making them a team I want to buy with my White Sox vs. Twins predictions and MLB picks for Sunday, Aug. 30.

Who will win White Sox vs Twins today: Twins moneyline (55%)

For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator.

The Minnesota Twins will face a steady stream of relievers in a bullpen game for the Chicago White Sox.

This unit sits 18th in xERA this month and has been tasked with pitching more innings than any other ‘pen.

A couple of their lefties are unlikely to be available, meaning the Twins will see plenty of righties. That’s good news, as they’re sporting a .330 xwOBA vs. RHP in August, sixth-best.

Zebby Matthews has pitched much better at home (3.51 ERA), and the Twins will be in good shape if that continues.

Back Minnesota to 57%.

White Sox vs Twins Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (53%)

The Over is very appealing in this game.

Relief pitching tends to be volatile, and it’s hard to imagine arm after arm coming in and pitching cleanly for the White Sox against a Twins offense that – forget handedness – sits fifth in xwOBA this month.

Matthews owns a 5.04 ERA and has allowed nearly two home runs per nine innings. It’s difficult for him to get out of games unscathed.

This total just isn’t high enough for a battle between teams with O/U records of 77-58 and 76-58.

Play to 56%.

White Sox vs Twins home run prediction: Kody Clemens (16%)

Kody Clemens has been the top source of power for the Twins in August. He’s paced the team with a 10.9% barrel rate, a 48.4% hard hit rate, and an impressive .517 xSLG

He is consistently making quality contact, and will be a tough out for an overworked bullpen that has allowed the fifth-most barrels in the majors this season.
