The Boston Red Sox arguably the hottest team in baseball at the moment. They have won nine straight. Minnesota may still be without a couple of their best hitters on Thursday. Boston's starter Garret Richards has not been great this season but has allowed just nine hits in 51 career at-bats against the Twins. The Red Sox offense has emerged as the best hitting team in the American League to this point of the season, and it has been needed as their pitching staff has an ERA under 4.00 this season. I a not jumping in front of the Red Sox train and like their bats against the Twins pitching in this one.

Play on Boston.
