Predictions and Betting Odds for the Matchup Between Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins on July 30th
The MLB game on July 30, 2025, between the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins at Target Field is predicted to be a lower-scoring affair, with the best betting pick being the under 8.5 runs total.
The Red Sox, who won their last game against the Twins with a score of 8-5, will send Brayan Bello (3.32 ERA) to start against the Twins' Zebby Matthews (4.97 ERA). Despite the first two games of the series going over, expert analysis and betting trends favor the under on the third game due to pitching form, pace, and weather conditions that point to less scoring.
There is no recommended moneyline or run line play for this game, indicating uncertainty on outright winners or spreads. The Twins are slight favorites at about -120 on the moneyline with an implied runs total near 4.1, aiming to bounce back after losing the previous game.
Betting trends show that the Twins have a record of roughly 52% wins when favored and often produce games going over totals, while the Red Sox perform around 40-43% as underdogs in moneyline contests, also with a roughly even over/under record overall. However, the “Silent Sharp Unders” system favors taking the under based on sharp bettor action and historical profitability (9.2% ROI since 2005).
