In this Angels vs Twins Prediction, the Twins are coming as -130 home favorites. I am with the Twins in this one, as Taj Bradley has been in far better form than Jose Soriano lately. Bradley has given up two runs or less in each of his last four starts, while Soriano has given up 3+ runs in four of his last six. The Twins also have the 7th-best offense in baseball and are better against righties. Take the Twins to win this one at home.
