The Twins are 10-1 in their last 11 head-to-head meetings against the Angels, and have won their last 4 visits in Los Angeles. Over is 7-3-1 in their last 11 meetings.
In this Twins vs Angels Prediction, the Twins are coming as -120 road favorites. I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup, as they both have an ERA close to 5.00. Matthews has been terrible on the road for the Twins, with a 5.77 ERA, while Hendricks is coming into this matchup in poor form for the Angels, with a 5.61 ERA across his last five starts. Hendricks has torched in his previous start against the Twins this season, having given up 7 runs in just 3 innings of work. The opening game of this series had 15 total runs, and I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 9 runs in this one.
