Twins vs Angels Prediction
Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings and the Angels are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in LA.
In this Twins vs Angels Prediction, the Twins are coming as -120 road favorites. The Twins are almost mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and I don’t trust them with Dean Kremer on the mound, who sits on a 6.11 road ERA. Ryan Johnson has been in excellent form, having given up one run or less in four of his last five starts and during their last 10 games, the Angels have both a superior bullpen ERA (4.11 to 5.44) and a better offense (4 to 2.9 runs per game). Take the Angels once again as home dogs for plus money.
