Minnesota Twins vs Boston Red Sox Prediction, Pick, and Odds: Can Boston's Bats Get To Dylan Bundy?

For our first play today I am looking to attack a total in this matchup between two American League teams that are in a spot where they would love to get on a roll here heading into the final month. The Boston Red Sox are in Minnesota to do a battle with the Twins this evening and I think they swing the sticks a good bit. Let's get into my prediction, pick, and odds for the Twins vs Red Sox.

Minnesota Twins vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

Despite just being four games under .500 and having been considered a strong team in the division to start the season the Boston Red Sox currently find themselves sitting dead last in the AL East. To be fair they are probably the best division I’ve ever seen in a single season in my life so it’s not entirely their fault but the players and that city expect more. I’m not necessarily sure if that is plausible to happen this year but to be fair the standings aren’t that spread out… Yes, they are dead last in the division but they are just eight games back from second place. 

They would need to get hot and things need to go in their favor but they have to do their part in the first place if they want anything to happen and that starts by winning baseball games and swinging the bats better than they have been. 

Tonight they’re going to have to if they want to win and they don’t have that much time left to really light a fire under their you know what, every series matters.

Combining the motivation I expect (hope) to see from Boston with Minnesota's current position as the second-place team in the AL Central, both teams are motivated here and should attack these pitchers. 

Dylan Bundy has been a fade against all teams all season long and this is no different. Boston hitters are sporting a .267/.362/.527 slash line on 135 ABs for a .889 OPS against Bundy with more than half of the 36 hits being XBH. 

Minnesota has not seen Brayan Bello before but it shouldn’t be an issue. Bello is 0-3 on the season with a 7.36 WHIP and 2.09 WHIP.
