We’ve bet plenty of first five team totals but not a complete game total. Despite the Boston Red Sox entering this game as an underdog, there's much to like about this bet.
Minnesota Twins vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction
Sonny Gray is the reason we are getting this low number. He has been lights out, holding a 2.37 ERA over 14 starts. With that being said, he is certainly due regression, and his xERA of 3.70 agrees with that. Boston is a very capable team who have good career stats against Gray.
Boston's bats are a lifetime 16-53 against Gray, which is over a .300 batting average. In Sonny Gray's starts, the opposing team has scored 4+ runs in nine of the last 11 games. The Minnesota Twins’ bullpen is good but not elite, and I love that we could get extra-inning help if needed.
Boston has scored 4+ runs in seven straight games. This number feels very soft and worth the risk. The hit rates are through the roof with this bet, and Boston has seen the ball incredible. In the last seven games, Boston has scored 56 runs, which is an average of eight runs a game. We need half of that tonight. Let's roll!
