Los Angeles Angels vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Twins in this game. I just think Joe Ryan gives the Twins a seismic starting pitching edge in this matchup, and I’m not willing to trust this Angels bullpen long term if I’m being 100% honest. I think this is a tough spot for the Angels to be in against Ryan who has had his strikeout stuff working since day one this year and ultimately, I like the Twins to exact some revenge here. Give me Minnesota in this one.
