Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins Odds, Line, Picks, NRFI, and Prediction - July 14th, 2022 | 2022 MLB Season
The Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins start a four-game series before they head into the All-Star break.
The White Sox enter this four-game series after splitting four with the Cleveland Guardians. It was an important series that yielded no benefit for either team as they continue to muscle for positioning in the Wild Card race.
The Twins will be fighting off the White Sox's efforts to ditch the Wild Card and make a run at the division. Four games could change things as they sit five games out.

Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins Betting Odds
Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins Best Picks
Sonny Gray hasn't recorded six strikeouts in a start since May 24, and Chicago strikes out less than almost any team in the league. This is a curious line, and bettors should take advantage of it.
Sonny Gray Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-154)
This whole series will be hard-fought, and any run scored will be well earned. Both starters in this first game are pitching at an elite level this season, and they won't be giving batters an inch. As a result, runs will be hard to come by, and certainly, none will come in the first inning.
No Runs in the First Inning (-113)
Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
Chicago can't be happy about their split with Cleveland, but winning this series would be far more beneficial. They'll be giving their all as these four games are all that stand between them and the All-Star break. With Cueto on the mound, bettors should expect a White Sox win.
Chicago (+140)
