Dodgers vs Twins Prediction

I’d love to fade the Dodgers at this price with the way they keep losing games and burning a hole in the pocket, but the Twins and Festa just don’t move the needle. Festa has a 5.25 ERA and 1.31 WHIP on the season, and he has a 6.63 ERA in 19 road innings. Ohtani is going deeper and deeper into games, and he’s allowed just one run in nine innings overall. The Dodgers are also too talented to let these losses pile up much longer. Give me a better pitcher and I’m onboard. Instead, give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
