Twins vs Angels Prediction 

Minnesota was able to get an easy win in game one of this series on Monday night, and they are now above .500 at home. The Twins have struggled to start this season, but they have won three of their last four games. Los Angeles is just 7-9 on the road this year, and they have allowed at least nine runs in two of their last four games. I don’t care for either starting pitcher in this matchup, and I think each offense will have plenty of baserunners, so I like the over here.
