| (MySportsbook) - The Chicago White Sox have a chance to put the pesky Minnesota Twins away for good when the two AL Central rivals begin an important three-game series this evening at the Metrodome. Chicago is clinging to a 2 1/2-game edge over the Twins for the lead in the Central standings and has won eight of the 15 matchups against them this season. Minnesota, however, has been nearly unstoppable at home in the season series, going 5-1 within the friendly confines of the Metrodome. The Twins have won thre |

Chicago will try for a swift rebound from Saturday's loss to the Kansas City Royals when the clubs play the rubber match of a three-game series this afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
