Los Angeles Dodgers vs Minnesota Twins Picks and Prediction
Los Angeles Dodgers vs Minnesota Twins Pick
- Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers Moneyline
The Dodgers enter this matchup with the better overall record, the better road record, and the advantage in the matchup predictor. Los Angeles also owns superior offensive and pitching numbers across nearly every category provided. While Minnesota has played well recently and features a strong starting pitcher, the Dodgers have been the more complete team throughout the season and are the preferred side in this matchup.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs Minnesota Twins Total Pick
- Pick: Take the under if the total is set at 8.0
I would lean toward the under in this game because both starting pitchers have ERAs below 3.00 and WHIPs right around 1.00. Los Angeles also owns a team ERA of 3.46 and allows opponents to hit just .213. With two quality starters and strong overall pitching numbers, this matchup has the potential to stay below a typical total.
