This Monday afternoon, the action of the MLB will start when some inspired Boston Red Sox visit the Target Field to face the Minnesota Twins, who want to avoid a third loss in a row.
BOSTON RED SOX
–
Just over a week after the season started, it can be said that the Boston Red SoxThey are already over their lousy last year. Since, although they lost their first three games, they have recovered with 6 wins in a row, sweeping series against their divisional rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Baltimore Orioles, with pitchers who have done a good job, and an offense that has been the spearhead of the team.
Yesterday afternoon JD Martinez, led the victory of the Red Sox, with a great game of 3 home runs, something he had not done since 2017, finishing with 4 hits in 6 at-bats, driving in 4 runs and scoring 4. Being also supported by a Rafael Devers who, has already fully awakened, driving 5 runs with 2 home runs in 5 at-bats. While, Alex Verdugo, contributed another home run, Xander Bogaerts, landed 3 hits and Kike Hernandez others 2. Combining for 14 runs and 17 hits, supporting pitchers who didn’t have their best day, allowing 9 runs.
Although it was not as prominent as her first outing, Nick Pivetta, He was able to add his second victory of the season by allowing 7 hits and 4 runs in yesterday’s game, striking out 7 and walking 3.

MINNESOTA TWINS
–
The Minnesota Twins, have set their record of 5 victories and 4 defeats after having lost for the second day in a row against the Seattle Mariners, in a match that they lost again in the final innings. The Twins have lost 3 games in extra innings and 1 after going into the ninth with an advantage. Minnesota’s offense ranks fifth in the MLB with an average of 5.99 runs per game.
Although they looked like they would take a comfortable victory yesterday afternoon after going 0-6 on the scoreboard, home runs were a nightmare for the Twins. Since, the Mariners, connected 2 in the sixth inning to reduce the difference to 2, and connected 1 of 3 runs in the ninth inning against Alex Colomé, for an 8-6 victory.
The good presentation of Matt Shoemaker, was tainted by a lousy sixth inning. Working then for only 5.0 innings in which he allowed 7 hits and 4 runs. While, Alex Colomé, took the loss after blowing his second save of the year.
PITCHERS DUEL
–
Martin Perez: The Venezuelan had a decent start to the season, pitching for 5.0 innings, in which he allowed 5 hits and 3 runs, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts.
–
J.A. Happ: Although it was short, the 38-year-old left-hander enjoyed a good debut with the Twins, in which he worked for 4.0 innings, giving up only 3 hits and 1 run, with 3 walks and 4 fans.
FORECAST
This will be one of the most interesting games this Monday, with the Boston Red Sox, who have been fantastic on offense, with more than 2 players hitting very well, and who will seek to prove it against a Happ who threw very well in his first outing. . And some Minnesota Twins, who have also been effective in attack, and who could take advantage of a Martín Pérez, who is an inconsistent pitcher, however, it must be remembered that his bullpen has had some lapses in his recent presentations.
So with two teams that have been hitting a lot and don’t have 100% reliable starters facing off, I think the best option here is to wait for a 9+ run game.
Recommendation: More than 9 races. Odds: 1.84.
