Minnesota Twins vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
Ryan has been solid enough to give the Twins a look, as he’s allowed just 12 runs in 34 innings while striking out 39. The problem is the Twins don’t string together enough offense to trust, and it’s led to a lot of disappointing results. Bello has just 11 innings under his belt this season, but we know what he’s capable of when he’s right, and he hasn’t been terrible given the small sample size. Bello has allowed 10 hits and four runs in those frames. A pick ’em price, I have to give the edge to the Red Sox at home. Give me some plus money and I’d give the Twins a look. That’s not the case here. I’ll side with the Red Sox.
