Rick Porcello was expected to start Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins desperate for a win. A line was not up on this game overnight as Porcello was still not official.

*Free trial test drive |
Following a few losses, Porcello allowed just two runs over 6 2/3 innings on Wednesday against the Rangers but did not factor into the decision.
The right-hander has struck out 66 batters in 14 appearances for the Sox this season on top of his 4.69 ERA.
He will be going up against Jose Berrios (8-2, 3.01), who is coming off of two wins and a no decision quality start prior to that streak
Boston only has a slight advantage over Minnesota, having won six of the last ten meetings.
You wouldn't want to take an UNDER in this game as eight of the last ten have seen five or more runs scored by the Twins. Boston has allowed five or more runs in half of their last ten.
