The Red Sox are back scuffling, losers of nine of their last 12 games. The Twins, on the other hand, have won five in a row.

Yet the price on the home Twins is rather low, lower than I expected. Michael Wacha is the reason for this.

Wacha has been tremendous for Boston this season going 9-1 with a 2.53 ERA. He's in excellent form, too, with a 2.61 ERA in his past eight starts.

But the Twins have a decent starter going, Joe Ryan, and get check marks in the other areas, including a big one in how the teams are playing right now.

Boston is on a three-game losing streak with the average losing margin being by five runs.

Ryan is 10-6 with a 3.65 ERA. He's held eight of his 10 July and August opponents to two runs or less. The Twins' bullpen is far more reliable right now than Boston's relievers. Wacha has 4.43 career ERA in four starts against Minnesota.

So at this price, I'll hop on board the Twins' five-game home win streak.
