SBG Global Opening Line: Red Sox  - 132, Total  9.5 Flat

The Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins wrap up a four game series tonight with Clay Buchholz facing Livan Hernandez.  The Red Sox will be hoping to get Manny Ramirez back in the starting lineup tonight.  He was only able to pinch hit on Sunday in the 9-8 loss to the Twins.
SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Red Sox on the Road.

The Twins send Livan Hernandez to the mound on Monday.  He is a very surprising 5-1 with a 3.83 ERA on the season.  He pitched a complete game in his last start against the White Sox but he has not pitched well in his career against Boston going 0-2 with an ERA over 12.

Boston sends Clay Buchholz who is 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA this season.  He pitched only four innings in his last start against Detroit and gave up five runs and 10 hits.  This will be his first ever start against Minnesota.
