Chicago at Minnesota

June 1, 2026
img7:40 PM Eastern

Minnesota's bullpen is in rough shape coming off a brutal road trip where the Twins were outscored 46-21 over five games, with their manager openly acknowledging the relief corps is running on fumes. Joe Ryan is the name the market is pricing this game on, but Ryan exited his last start after just nine pitches with right elbow soreness — and while the MRI came back clean, there's real uncertainty about how deep he can go tonight with a taxed bullpen behind him. Meanwhile, the White Sox are 32-27 on the season, winners of five straight, and the more functional team by nearly every measure right now. Minnesota is 27-33 and the worst club in this division series matchup. The market has this backwards, inflated by Ryan's name and home-field habit. Getting the better team at a significant underdog price is where the value lives. Take the White Sox.
