T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins.

I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Twins are just 2 games behind the Guardians for 1st place in the AL Central but they have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They just swept the Giants at home but their offense looked great in that series, putting up 8+ runs in 2 of the games and even coming back late with 2 runs in the 9th inning to tie it in the other game. They are still on their homestand for this game here and I think they are going to keep rolling over these bad teams like they have lately. The Red Sox have looked terrible in a majority of their games over the last few weeks. They have had their moments in some games and they were starting to string some wins together again too, but it all fell apart in their most recent game with another big 12-4 loss at home to the Rays, and I think they are going to fall right back in their slump here against this hot Twins team. The Twins offense has looked a lot better in home games all year and they are showing it with their recent scores. I don't see the Red Sox having much of a chance here with their pitching in the state it has been in for weeks now, very inconsistent and giving up a ton of runs in their games. I expect the Twins to put up runs on the Red Sox here with the way they have been starting to hit lately. Brayan Bello (0-3, 7.36 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here but he has been giving up a ton of runs in his rookie year here and I see him getting pounded by the Twins bats here. Dylan Bundy (7-6, 4.56 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he hasn't looked good all year but he has actually been improving lately, posting great numbers in August, and I see him shutting down the Red Sox offense which hasn't been very good outside of their own ballpark. I like the Twins to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Twins.
