974 Twins -115 over Red Sox
Twins going for the series win after a 17 inning game and sending one of their better pitchers to the mound in Kyle Gibson. Gibson having a great year with a 7-3 record 1.17 WHIP and a 3.70 ERA and Gibson is coming off a quality start vs. the Royals going 8 innings allowing 2 hits 0 runs 0 walks with 6 strikeouts with only 88 pitches and a WHIP of 0.25. The Red Sox are in a bad spot coming off a 17 inning game and sending Eduardo Rodriguez to start with him coming off back to back outings where he went over 100 pitches. Over his last 10 starts he’s went over 100 pitches 5 times. Also Rodriguez hasn’t pitched well in his career vs. potential batters that will be in the lineup for the Twins owning a .314 OBA and .377 OBP. C.J. Cron, Marwin Gonzalez, Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco, Eddie Rosario and Miguel Sano have all faced Rodriguez quite a bit in their careers and their all hitting .330 or better off him and should be in the lineup. Twins are 39-17 in their last 56 games. Twins are 54-24 in their last 78 home games. Twins are 48-23 in their last 71 games on grass.
