In this Twins vs Red Sox Prediction, the Red Sox are coming as -120 home favorites. Both pitchers in this matchup have been good with a combined 5.68 ERA and the Red Sox’s bullpen ranks 4 th in the league. Prior to yesterday’s high-scoring affair, both teams were trending towards lower-scoring games as they were 12-3 to their 15 games combined. I expect them to return back to that trend with two solid pitchers on the mound and take the under 8.5 in this one.
