Minnesota at Boston

The Minnesota Twins have had some success as a small market team. They have not had much of it recently, however, as over their last four seasons they lost at least 92 games in each of them. Things have changed dramatically this season as the Twins own a 30-19 record and are in first place as we head into June. The Twins have been exceptionally good at home where they are 19-7, better than Detroit and Kansas City, who are both surprisingly looking up in the standings at them. They just finished a sweep of the 22-29 Red Sox who have really struggled in all phases of the game. Minnesota has been cleaning up against poor teams as they own a 21-5 mark in their last 26 vs. a losing squad. The Sox are now 0-7 to a total of 7-8.5 in their last seven, and Buchholz has led them to a 7-19 mark in hs last 26 vs. the same total range. Make the play on Minnesota.
