The Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins betting trend heading into this game strongly favored the UNDER. Let's see if it makes sense to bet the UNDER 6 for this game. This will be Game 1 of a double header with just 7 innings to be played.
Action and Line Movement
The total has not moved off the number 6 since opening. Most of the early action was on the OVER.
Preview
Right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 1.46 ERA) will start the first seven-inning game for the Red Sox, opposed by right-hander Kenta Maeda (1-0, 2.61) for Minnesota.
Eovaldi is 3-3 with a 5.05 ERA in seven career starts against Minnesota, including 1-2 with a 7.88 ERA in three starts at Target Field.
That stat alone should discourage anyone from taking the UNDER 6 here.
Maeda, the runner up for the 2020 AL Cy Young Award, is 0-1 with a 4.76 ERA in his only career start against Boston. He took the 8-1 loss on July 12, 2019, at Fenway Park that saw him yield three runs on four hits, including solo homers to Devers and Christian Vazquez, over 5 2/3 innings.
