Minnesota Twins vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m going to side with the Red Sox here. Hunter Dobbins has been delivering and has the benefit of continuing to play at home, where he’s been most comfortable in his brief major league career to date. Ober has been solid as well, but the Twins just haven’t been scoring much as of lat,e and I think I trust the Red Sox more offensively in this matchup to be able to plate the runs to scratch out the win here. Give me the Red Sox.
