Dodgers vs Twins Prediction

The Dodgers won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last five. Although I believe the Dodgers will get another win here, I am not going to back them as I don’t like the odds. That’s why I am opting for Under, and because of the pitching matchup, of course. Simeon Woods Richardson is enjoying a fantastic form at the moment; he allowed just five runs in his previous six starts and registered three shutouts in that span. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, on the other hand, didn’t have the best of times in June, but improved in July and is coming from a shutout 7.0 innings display against the Giants. I don’t expect to see more than eight runs in this one.
