Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins
Monday, May 12th, 8:10 PM ET
The Red Sox continue to struggle on turf, owning a 1-8 mark following Sunday night's 9-8 loss to the Twins. The two teams wrap up a four game set tonight and Minnesota will be sending out Livan Hernandez, who owns a very strong 7-1 team start record in the underdog role ... this season! Clay Buchholz has not won on the road this year and has an ERA over 7.00 outside of Fenway.
Play on: Minnesota

Detroit at Dallas (+100, 5)
The Detroit Red Wings have to be the most frustrating team to play against in the playoffs. Their puck-control offense, combined with an air-tight defense and more pure talent than they know what to do with is just the beginning of it. Detroit always has the puck and rarely allows teams to get anywhere near 30 shots. The Wings are experienced and deep too, so they always seem composed.
It's already getting to Dallas. The Stars head back home down 2-0, but started to come unraveled a bit when Mike Ribeiro and Detroit goalie Chris Osgood got into it in the final seconds of Game 2. It shouldn't amount to much, though Dallas needs some kind of spark or Marty Turco to steal this game to stay in the series.
It's hard to go against the Red Wings at this point, but if you're going to at all in this series, this might be the game.
