Boston at Minnesota

Boston will look to end its two-game skid while also snapping Minnesota's four-game win streak. The Red Sox will go with Connelly Early, who has the due factor in his favor as he has pitched well in three outings with nothing to show for it. He has allowed four runs and struck out 15 in 13 2/3 innings, but has gotten little run support. Only one Twins batter (Tristan Gray went 0-for-2) has ever faced Early. Simeon Woods Richardson has a 5.79 ERA in one career appearance against the Red Sox. The Twins have lost all three of his starts this year, and he allowed five runs on six hits in four innings in a 10-4 loss to Toronto on Friday. Boston's bullpen has been decent with a 1.15 WHIP compared to Minnesota's relievers, who have a 5.03 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP. Take the Red Sox.
