Boston at Minnesota

The Boston Red Sox have the top offense in baseball and are crushing the Twins in this series, winning 8-1 and 15-4.

Pat Dean (4.75 ERA) goes for Minnesota, with batters hitting .303 off him. He has a 5.54 ERA at home, where the Twins are 11-21. Minnesota is on an 18-46 run, 5-17 at home and 13-38 vs. a right-handed starter. Play Boston.
