Shane’s Free Pick
Joe Ryan is going to be the difference in this game. He sits with an ERA of 2.16 and he’s going to lockdown the Angels here. The Twins offense might not run up the score, but they are going to score enough here to keep this game close. I am taking the Twins on the money line, but I am also throwing a few dollars on the Twins -1.5.
