Los Angeles Dodgers vs Minnesota Twins Match Prediction 23 July 2025

I am not surprised with the Los Angeles Dodgers’ performance in the opener and I definitely expect more from them in this game. No doubt, the home team has faced a lot of troubles lately, but their quality in offense is always making the difference and this game two is expected to have a similar narrative. However, the Minnesota Twins definitely know they have a huge task to deal with and they can not but be prepared like this is a playoff after having little to no chance in game one. Yet, considering the odds in this second game, I feel the Los Angeles Dodgers might even dominate this game more than what we saw in the opener with Yoshinobu Yamamoto who has been better this July starting on the mound for this Dodgers team. While Simeon Woods Richardson has allowed only five runs in his last six starts, I feel he might not have enough support to get the numbers against the Dodgers and this game could end with many runs.
