Boston’s run-scoring depth remains the decisive factor in this matchup. With Brayan Bello expected to open the game, the Red Sox should lean on his heavy sinker/slider mix to keep Minnesota’s right-handed core of Carlos Correa, Royce Lewis, and Byron Buxton on the ground. Bailey Ober’s fly-ball tendencies set up poorly against a Boston lineup that slugged nearly .470 against elevated fastballs last year; Rafael Devers and Triston Casas in particular match up well.
The Sox are likely to strike in the second inning when the bottom half of the order turns the lineup over—look for Jarren Duran’s speed to manufacture an early two-spot. Minnesota’s best chance comes in the fourth, when Correa and Lewis typically see the starter a second time, but Boston’s bullpen advantage (Winckowski, Martin, Kenley Jansen) should slam the door from the sixth on.
Expect the Twins to chip away late—Jose Miranda’s pinch-hit two-run knock in the eighth keeps things interesting—but Boston’s balanced attack and superior relief corps carry the day, 7-4.
