Best Bet Blowout - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #971 Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 9 runs in Chicago White Sox vs Minnesota Twins @ 8:10 ET - This is another game with an interesting money line. The White Sox are 7-2 in the 9 home starts Dylan Cease has made this season and the Twins Michael Pineda is struggling badly and yet Chicago opened up as a -125 favorite here. This opener is telling me the odds makers feel there is a decent shot at the Twins getting an upset here and the only way I see that happening is if they score a pile of runs. The reason I say that is because Pineda should get rocked here. The Minnesota right-hander is 0-3 with an 8.10 ERA in his last 4 starts. Pineda also has struggled more at night than day games and more on the road than in home games. Specifically against the White Sox he has allowed 8 earned runs on 16 hits in less than 11 innings of work over two recent starts against them. This included 3 homers plus he particularly got roughed up in his most recent start against them which was only two weeks ago. Speaking of familiarity, the Twins lineup has plenty of familiarity with Cease and will be seeing him for the 4th time in a span of about 2 months. Cease has allowed 4 homers in those 3 starts and gave up 6 earned runs at Minnesota about two weeks ago. I know he has good numbers at home but he also has an 8.04 ERA in his 6 career starts about the Twins. Cease struggles here more than you would expect, Pineda's recent struggles continue, and also note that the bullpens allowed 8 of the 13 earned runs in yesterday's game. The over is already 7-2 this season in games between these teams at Chicago and I look for that trend to continue here. 10* OVER the total in Chicago White Sox
