Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Twins and the Red Sox
Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Twins:
“Bello is making his third start of the season and while Boston has won both of those games, too many people may buy into that during a pick-em. Ryan is coming off an excellent start (11 Ks, 0 ER, 7 IP), while Bello allowed three earned runs and walked three over six innings of work. Neither team has figured it out yet, but I trust Minnesota to figure out Bello, so I’d have to lean toward Minnesota.
