Minnesota Twins vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m on the Angels in this one. I haven’t been able to trust the Twins against lefties for much of the season and I don’t expect to here either. The Angels have been decent at times against lefties and while I like Joe Ryan’s game, I don’t like this spot for the Twins so give me the Angels.
