Top MLB Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Red Sox vs. Twins
Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins O/U
Entering the weekend, Minnesota was amid a six-game losing streak, and many started to question if it would ever hit again, as it totaled 12 runs during the skid. However, the Twins’ bats woke up in a home sweep against the Giants, scoring 20 runs over the weekend. It has a great chance of keeping that success going against a putrid Red Sox pitching staff.
Over the last 30 days, the Red Sox’ 5.03 team ERA is third-worst in baseball, and their 5.52 bullpen ERA in that span ranks 29th. Brayan Bello (0-3, 7.36) takes the mound today and is seemingly hanging onto his job by a thread. The average wOBA among all 30 MLB teams is .316, and Bello has allowed a .414 rate. Additionally, he struggles with command as his 11.1% BB% is well above the league average, as is his 41.7 hard-hit percentage.
Minnesota counters with Dylan Bundy (7-6, 4.56), who is on pace for a career-low in strikeout percentage (17.0%) and a career-high xBA (.254). The Red Sox have averaged just under six runs per game over the last four games, which has us confident in the over cashing again, as it is 5-1-1 in the previous seven meetings between these teams.
Bet: Red Sox-Twins OVER 9 Runs (+100 at DraftKings)
