Twins vs Angels Prediction
The Twins are 9-1 in their last 10 head-to-head meetings against the Angels, and have won their last 3 visits in Los Angeles. Over is 6-3-1 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Twins vs Angels Prediction, the Angels are coming as -125 home favorites. I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup, as we have not seen enough of Dana for the Angels, and Richardson has been bad for the Twins, especially on the road, where he has a 5.95 ERA. Both teams also have bad bullpens to follow those pitchers, and they are allowing runs like crazy lately. The Angels have allowed 30 runs in three games in the series versus the A’s, while the Twins have allowed 11+ runs in three of their last six games. I anticipate another high-scoring affair, so take the over 9.5 runs in this one.
