Red Sox vs. Twins prediction and odds for Thursday, June 22

The Boston Red Sox win streak came to an end on Wednesday when the Minnesota Twins squaked out a 5-4 win in extra innings.

The final game of the series is set to take place on Thursday afternoon and the Red Sox can still win the series with a victory today.

Let's dive into the odds for the matinee matchup and then I'll give you my best bet.

Red Sox vs. Twins prediction and pick

I think this is a great opportunity to back the Red Sox as underdogs.

Boston will be going with a bullpen day with Justin Garza serving as the opener. Don't let that sway you away from betting on them, their bullpen has been solid over the past 30 days, sporting a bullpen ERA of 3.76.

The main thing we should be focusing in is how hot their offense has been lately, beginning to look like they did at the start of the season. Over the last 30 days, they rank seventh in the Majors in OPS at .766. Meanwhile, the Twins rank just 21st in that stat over the same time frame.

Joe Ryan will get the start for the Twins, and while he has been solid for the Twins this season, he has already faced the Red Sox once and they were able to get to him. He allowed six hits and three earned runs across 6.0 innings pitched.

He also has been slumping a bit heading into today's game, allowing six earned runs to the Detroit Tigers in his last start.

I think +135 is a great price on the Red Sox this afternoon.
