The Minnesota Twins will go for their twelfth straight win when they host the Boston Red Sox today in the middle game of their 3-game set at Target Field. The Twins are hot but keep in mind 10 of their 11 wins were against the lowly White Sox and another bottom feeder, the Los Angeles Angels. The Red Sox lost last night, 5-2, but have played well on the road with a record of 11-6 and can get to the Twins expected starter, Pablo López. López is 2-2 with an elevated ERA of 4.83, a 1.04 WHIP, and is 0-1 in his career against the Red Sox with a 6.35 ERA. The Red Sox are expected to pitch a bullpen game today with Brennan Bernardino getting the first leg. Bernardino is 0-1 with an ERA of only 0.73 and a WHIP to match, at 0.73. I like Boston in this situation and all good things must end.
