In this Angels vs Twins, the Twins are coming as -180 home favorites. I am with the Twins in a bounce-back spot today with Joe Ryan on the mound, who has been the far better pitching option than Ryan Johnson and his 6.99 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. Ryan is coming off back-to-back shutouts, while Johnson has been terrible on the road with an 8.10 ERA. The Twins also have the 7th-best offense in baseball and are better against righties. Take the Twins to win this one at home.
