Boston at Minnesota

The sum of the parts has been better than the results thus far for the Boston Red Sox, but they are slowly moving forward. Last night's easy win over Minnesota gives them seven wins in their last eight games in Minnesota. David Ortiz has been a one man wrecking crew, swatting 4 HRs through the first two games of this series. Ortiz may have his way again facing Phil Hughes, as he is 9-22 against him lifetime with a pair of HRs. Hughes has not fared well against Boston with a lifetime 5-7 record with a 5.70 ERA in 13 starts and 22 overall appearances. Boston is 15-3 in Buchholz's last 18 starts as a road favorite from -110 to -150, and the Twins have been overmatched at home vs. a winning team where they are 20-55 in their last 75 games. Take Boston again today.
