Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back the Twins, but the Dodgers have had issues stringing together success over the last few weeks. Yamamoto has also been shaky at home when you compare his 1.84 ERA on the road to his 3.38 ERA at home. Woods Richardson has allowed 12 hits and two runs in his last 19.2 innings. This is some of the best pitching Woods Richardson has had in his career. The Twins have won three of the last four games Woods Richardson has pitched. The Dodgers have won two straight games, once since July 4. I’ll take a shot with the Twins.
