Twins vs Angels Trends 

Angels are 5-0 in Ohtani's last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Angels are 8-1 in Ohtanis last 9 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150. Angels are 7-1 in Ohtanis last 8 starts vs. American League Central. Angels are 0-4 in their last 4 during game 3 of a series. Angels are 1-6 in Ohtanis last 7 Sunday starts.

Shane’s Free Pick

Pablo Lopez hasn’t been as dominant as last year and that is going to really hurt the Twins in this game. The Twins offense has been inconsistent and that is going to let them down in this game. Look for the Twins to really struggle against Ohtani and that will be the difference here. Back the Angels on the run line. 

Shane’s Pick Angels -1.5
