SBG Global Opening Line: White Sox – 130, Total 10 over (- 120)

The Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox will look to begin their division rivalry for 2007 a day after having their first game postponed because of cold temperatures in Chicago. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public casting a cold night for the Twins, with most money on the White Sox at home.

The Twins look for their first 4-0 start in 20 years. "Anytime we go into Chicago or they come to us, there is something a little extra there," Twins third baseman Nick Punto said. "We enjoy beating each other up pretty well. We have battles but we have a lot of respect for them, and they have a lot of respect for us. But there's no question, we really enjoy beating them."

Last year the Twins Carlos Silva out-pitched Javier Vazquez, holding the White Sox to one run and five hits through 5 1-3 innings of a 5-1 victory. That win, combined with a loss by Detroit later that day, gave Minnesota its fourth AL Central title in five years.

The Chicago White Sox are a – 133 favorite with a total of 10 (- 110) at SBG Global.

Silva was 11-15 with a career-worst 5.94 ERA in 36 games last year, including 31 starts. He was 1-2 with an 8.10 ERA in three starts at U.S. Cellular Field. Vazquez was 11-12 with a 4.84 ERA last year. In five starts last season against the Twins he was 0-4 with a 6.83 ERA.
