Sonny Gray is making his debut as a Minnesota Twin. He had a 4.19 ERA in 2021 as an Cincinnati Red. Gray has struggled against Boston in his career. Minnesota's team batting average is .189. Byron Buxton is injured. Twins are in the bottom ten of MLB teams in several statistical categories. They are also in last place in runs scored, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. Twins need to improve their hitting to win more games.

The Red Sox are struggling in the current season. Tanner Houck needs to be more consistent to cover the spread against the Twins. Rafael Devers is a star performer for the Red SOx. The Dominican Republic third baseman is slashing .367 and driving in seven RBIs. The Twins and Red Sox play each other on Saturday. They are both playing in a tough division.
