Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction: Redemption game for the two teams

The Minnesota Twins will play the Los Angeles Angels at Target Field in Major League Baseball. This will be the opener of a three-game series. Which team wins this one?

Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins are coming off a series against the Kansas City Royals. The Minnesota Twins were swept in that series as they failed to win any game, scoring only two runs. In the opener, the Minnesota Twins lost 5-0 and then scored two runs in a game, still losing 4-2. In the meantime, their poor record continued in the finale as they lost 2-0, extending their defeat to five in their last six matches. In the MLB this season, the Minnesota Twins have a 76-67 record, leaving them 6th in the American League.

Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels are coming off a series against the Texas Rangers. In the opening game, the Los Angeles Angels lost 3-1. However, they did well to even the series in game 2 with a 1-5 win. Yet, the last two games ended 6-4 and 7-4 defeats for the Los Angeles Angels, extending their defeat to four in recent matches. The Los Angeles Angels head into this game with a poor record of 59-84, leaving them seated 14th in the American League.

Expert Betting Tips

The two recent performances are nothing to write home about, and it is tough to back a side. However, looking at what either team could give and the performance they could pull, it is always clear why the Minnesota Twins come in as favorites: they are the better team. While the Los Angeles Angels are tough and unpredictable sometimes, I still believe the home team will win this opener.
