Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I like the over because the Twins have been solid against right-handed pitching and while the Dodgers win a lot of Ohtani’s starts, Ohtani’s given up a handful of runs in back-to-back starts. Joe Ryan is the Twins’ ace, but the Dodgers have been solid against righties all season long and I think we get some runs in this game especially after the bullpens get involved. Give me the over.
