What an Offensive Game for the Twins

It was quite the offensive game for the Twins on Saturday as they scored 11 runs on the way to the comfortable victory. Trevor Larnach hit a home run and drove in four RBIs. Byron Buxton also hit a home run and drove in three RBIs. Even with a big game, the Twins got some bad news that Luke Keaschall, who was just called up but had found some success, broke his forearm and will now be out for a while. 

The Twins are averaging 3.4 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.14 runs per game. The offense is ranked 26th in the league while the pitching is ranked 10th. The Twins' offense has been so inconsistent, but maybe all they needed was the game on Friday night to finally figure it out. Simeon Woods Richardson is going to get the start for the Twins, and he sits with a 1-2 record and an ERA of 4.74. Against the Atlanta Braves in his last start, he went 4.1 innings, giving up seven hits and three runs. 

Angels Need Better Pitching

The Angels really need to find a way to get some better pitching, or this is going to be a very long game. On Friday, the Angels gave up 11 runs on the way to the defeat. Kyle Hendricks was awful, going three innings, giving up three hits and seven runs. He had five walks. Mike Trout did have a strong game, finishing with one hit and two RBIs. 

The Angels are averaging 3.96 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.67 runs per game. The offense is ranked 21st, while the pitching is ranked 22nd. Mike Trout has hit nine home runs and driven in 18 RBIs. Yusei Kikuchi is getting the start for the Angels, and he sits with a 0-3 record and an ERA of 3.38.

LA Angels vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

Give me the Angels here. Yes, Kikuchi doesn’t have a win this season, but that’s more been about run support rather than how well he has pitched. In his last start, he gave up only one run, and he’s going to step in a major way here again. Richardson has played with fire in his last couple of starts, and it’s going to be exactly what hurts them here. The Angels are finally going to give Kikuchi some run support, and the Angels are going to come out ahead.
