Los Angeles Angels vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Twins in this one. I get the case to be made for the Angels if they were in better form, but they’ve dropped 8 of their last 9 games and I still don’t trust Grayson Rodriguez as far as I can throw him against a Twins team that’s still hitting right-handed pitching really well this season. I think Minnesota takes care of business once again here so give me the Twins.
