10* VERY EARLY MONDAY COMMUNITY TOTAL (+$5.5K MLB YTD!)
(MLB) Boston vs. Minnesota,
Total: 9.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Push
This is a 10* COMMUNITY TOTAL on the UNDER Red Sox/Twins.

Both teams are coming off high-scoring affairs and high-scoring weekends overall.

Boston hammered Baltimore 14-9 and has seen the total go over in seven straight.

Minnesota is off a disappointing 8-6 home loss to the Mariners, allowing three runs in the top of the ninth.

The Twins have been trading OVERS and UNDERS over their last four games, and all signs point to that trend continuing here.

Martin Perez heads to the hill for the visitors. In his debut he allowed three earned runs off five hits with two walks while also striking out six in what turned out to be a no-decision over five-innings of work. Perez was sharp overall for sure though, as he produced 15 called strikes and 12 swinging strikes for 92 total pitches. Facing his former team, Perez will be eager to keep the good times rolling.

JA Happ looked good in his opener as well, as the veteran southpaw allowed one run off three hits and three walks over four innings in what turned out to be an extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Off high-scoring games yesterday, look for the opener of this series to be much more of a "duel."

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
