Red Sox vs Twins Preview
These two teams faced off in Boston in the middle of April. The home team was able to take 2 out of 3 in Fenway, but there were plenty of fireworks from both dugouts.
The first matchup was a 5-4 Sox victory to start off the season series. The Twins came back the next day scoring 10 runs and securing the victory, 10-4.
Boston wasn’t too happy and let the Twins know the next day. The Red Sox put up 11 runs on 14 hits including a 6 run bottom of the 3rd. Boston would win the game 11-5, taking the series two games to one.
Now, the Twins are leading the AL Central, but they are only 36-36 on the season. Boston is currently 5th in the Al East, but ironically they have a better record than the Twins. The Red Sox sit at 37-35, one game ahead of Minnesota, even though they are last in their division.
Will the Twins secure the victory at home? Or will the Red Sox prove that the AL East is the most dominant division in baseball?

Red Sox vs Twins Prediction & Best Bet
Although we have seen every game between these two teams go over this total, I think the one today stays under.
With Pablo López and James Paxton on the mound, I think batters will have a tough time putting balls in play.
While I lean with the under, I will not be placing any wagers there, and instead have a few player props to target that stick with this narrative.
Let’s dive into it.
Player Props
Pablo López over 6.5 Strikeouts (+136)
Pablo López absolutely mows down hitters. His line is at 5.5 juiced to around -150. I’ll take the plus money and bet that he gets one more.
He has cleared 5.5 in 12/14 starts this year, and he gets 7+ strikeouts in 9 of hose 14 games. He’s only posted double digits Ks one time this year, but he’s gotten 7, 8 or 9, multiple times each.
This Red Sox team does not strikeout a ton, but starters have been able to mow them down. Hunter Green of the Reds at 8 Ks against the Red Sox and Merrill Kelly had 10, both soaring over their strikeout lines. It’s also worth mentioning that López is in the 90th percentile of Swinging Strike Percentage.
I like López to have a great outing tonight at home, where he’s hit this line in 6 of 7 starts.
Bonus Bet: López 8+ Ks (+280)
