Twins vs Angels Prediction

The Twins haven’t played well enough to lay these sorts of prices, but I’m backing them anyway. The Angels haven’t won two straight games in three weeks, and the offense continues to come up small as of late. Hendricks hasn’t really been good over these last three or four years, and he’s off to a shaky start this season.

Lopez is coming off a hamstring injury and will pitch for the first time in 17 days, but he’s an all-star pitcher who has allowed just three earned runs in 16.2 innings. Lopez feels like the guy who can get the Twins a much-needed win and stop the bleeding a bit. Of course, I’m laying the RL to shave down the juice.
