Minnesota Twins vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m backing the over in this game. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I don’t trust either one of these starting options when it comes to consistency, and this just feels like a high-scoring game across the board. These are also two of the least trustworthy bullpens in all of baseball in September, and I think this is going to see some runs. Give me the over.
