Trends
Minnesota is 13-31 in their last 44 road games and 11-23 in their last 34 games following a loss while the under is 2-0-2 in their last 4 games against a team with a left-handed starter. Boston is 11-5 in their last 16 home games and 4-0 in their last 4 games against the AL Central while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. I get why the Twins would be worth a look here as Chris Sale has not been the same pitcher that was dominating the majors three plus seasons ago, but Sonny Gray has had a career of issues with the Red Sox including an ERA just under seven in his career at Fenway Park. I’m rolling with the over here.
