LA Angels vs Minnesota Twins Prediction 4-26-24 Picks

In this article we will formulate an LA Angels vs Minnesota Twins Prediction for this MLB game on Friday, April 26th at Angel Stadium. 

Twins Find Success Against White Sox

All the Twins needed was some games against the White Sox to get back on the right track. The Twins are coming off a series against a series against Chicago where they picked up all three wins. On Thursday the Twins scored six runs and that was enough for the victory. Edourado Julien had a strong game finishing with one home run, two hits and two RBIs. The Twins are averaging 3.74 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.35 runs per game. The offense is ranked 23rd in the league while the pitching is ranked 15th. Ryan Jeffers is having a strong season and he finished with three hits and 12 RBis. 

Bailey Ober Start Pushed One Day

Getting the start for the Twins will be Bailey Ober who sits with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 4.91. In his last start against the Detroit Tigers, he went six innings giving up two hits and one run. If he struggles here that would be a major disappointment. Ober was supposed to start on Friday but his start was pushed back one day to Saturday. 

When Will the Angels Figure it Out?

At some point the Angels are going to surround Mike Trout with the right players, or they should maybe decide to move on from Trout. In the last game against the Baltimore Orioles, they almost made the comeback late, but they still fell just short as they were defeated 6-5. Taylor Ward did have a strong game hitting a home run and driving in two RBis. Mike Trout also hit a home run. The Angels are averaging 4.24 runs while their pitching is 4.92 runs per game. They are batting .239 which is 16th in the league. 

Patrick Sandoval Has Been Bad

Getting the start for the Angels will be Patrick Sandoval and he comes into this game with a 1-3 record and an ERA of 6.75. In his last start against the Cincinnati Reds, Sandoval went four innings giving up six hits and seven runs. The Angels are going to need Sandoval to be strong here.
