These teams may not get the attention of Dodgers or Yankees, but this is a crucial series for the AL Central. Along with the Guardians, there's a 3-team race to win the division. The AL East is clogging up the wildcard situation, so getting to the postseason via a pennant is the ideal situation. If the White Sox are unable to take this weekend series, it's going to take some help for them to get to the top of the division. They're already behind in terms of the season series between these teams, so let's use that recent history to determine the best ways to play Saturday's matchup.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
1st Half Result – White Sox (+105)
To clarify, this is a prop that means the White Sox will be leading after 5 innings. It’s just slightly different than the 1st 5 inning money line, as it does not provide the push condition.'
Although there is no push condition, there should be confidence in the Sox having an early lead behind ace Dylan Cease. After the Twins were able to have theirs in Sonny Gray last night, it's Chicago's turn. This should be quite the opposite situation than Minnesota taking advantage of the Sox using a platoon of openers last night. With Astros ace Justin Verlander recently going on the injured list, Cease has a great opportunity to add to his AL Cy Young resume. He's been absolutely dominant all season. He went 14 straight starts allowing either 0 or 1 earned run. While that ended recently against those Astros, he bounced back strong.'
