The red hot Minnesota Twins will seek their 4th straight win when they host the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates tonight at Target Field. The Bucs are expected to send southy Derek Holland to the rubber and he has not fared well in his career in the Twin Cities. The Dutch Oven is 0-5 lifetime in Minnesota with a 7.98 ERA and the Twins hammer lefties.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA TWINS

The Tampa Bay Rays are starting to spiral out of control, losing 4 straight, but that ends today when they wrap up a 3-game set with the Baltimore Orioles. Tommy Milone is expected to get the start for the Orioles and his numbers against the Rays are not good. Milone is 3-4 lifetime against Tampa with an elevated 6.75 ERA. The Rays are expected to send Yonny Chirinos to the rubber and this guy can deliver but gets overshadowed by flamethrowers Charlie Morton and Blake Snell. Chirinos was outstanding in his 2020 debut against the Atlanta Braves, yielding just one run, resulting in a Tampa victory. The Rays get back on track today.
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS

The New York Yankees are on a roll as usual, and will go for their 5th straight victory when they host the Boston Red Sox tonight at Yankee Stadium. New York has owned Boston, winning 4 straight against them and 9 of the last 10. Zack Godley is expected to take the hill for the Red Sox and he could be in for a long night. Godley owns a career ERA of 4.64 with a 1.36 WHIP and the Bombers know that.
