August 20, 2019 -- In a matchup between hitters Jorge Polanco and Eloy Jimenez, our model estimates the Twins have an estimated 76.17% likelihood of defeating the White Sox.

Probable starting pitchers Michael Pineda and Reynaldo Lopez duel it out for the Twins and White Sox, respectively. Our model forecasts the Twins pitcher will have an outing for 6.867 innings, allowing 2.118 earned runs, with a 1.957 walks. Reynaldo Lopez is estimated to have 3.548 earned runs, 19.863 outs, and 6.975 strike outs.

Hitters Nelson Cruz from the Twins and Tim Anderson from the White Sox will lead the offense for their teams. According to our game model, Nelson Cruz RF is estimated to bring in 1.185 RBIs and 0.970 runs scored, with an 0.406 OBP and 1.383 Ks. Based on the Snoozle MLB model, Tim Anderson is predicted to bat for 0.304 with 0.463 RBIs and 0.446 runs scored.

The Twins are the best value for the money line based on the -210 odds and a predicted 76.17% win estimate. Based on the prediction model's over 58.63% likelihood and +100 odds, the over line with 9.5 runs is the best value.
