Twins at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 5, Angels 4

Moneyline

The TWINS (-115) should have no trouble plating runs against Sandoval, who has allowed 3 or more earned runs in 3 of his 5 starts. Ober’s stats don’t look great after giving up 8 earned runs in his season debut at the Kansas City Royals March 31, but he’s been better since, allowing a total of just 2 earned runs over his last 3 starts.

BET TWINS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

Betting the Twins to win by 2 or more runs on the road seems aggressive, and I want no part of laying -175 on the Angels +1.5, who have lost 4 of their last 6 games by 2 or more runs.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

This number is right where I would set it. I’m personally only betting Twins ML, but if I had to play the total, I would take the Over. The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Angels and 3 straight for the Twins. With Sandoval on the mound, Minnesota should put up at least 4 runs.

LEAN OVER 8 (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Twins at Angels projected starters

RHP Pablo López vs. RHP Shohei Ohtani

López (2-2, 4.00 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 in 54 innings.

Twins at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, Twins 4

Moneyline

BET ANGELS (-155).

Los Angeles is 13-4 in its last 17 home games vs. right-handed starters, while Minnesota is just 2-6 in its last 8 on the road vs. right-handed pitching. The Angels should be able to bounce back after Saturday’s blowout loss, especially with Ohtani on the mound. The Twins are just 8-23 in their last 31 road games vs. teams with a winning record and should struggle to beat the Angels in back-to-back games.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Three of Los Angeles’ last 4 wins have been by exactly 1 run. Minnesota +1.5 (-160) should hit, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Angels moneyline is the better play. Bet Los Angeles moneyline and/or the total instead.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (-120).

The Over is 3-1-1 in Los Angeles’ last 5 games and 5-1-1 in its last 7 vs. teams with a winning record.

The Over has gone 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings between these teams in Los Angeles and should hit again Sunday with the market overcompensating for López and Ohtani being named as the starters.

Twins at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 6, Twins 3

Moneyline

LEAN ANGELS (-130). 

The Angels are 7-3 in the last 10 matchups with Los Angeles. The Twins are only 1-5 in the last 6 meetings overall and 2-5 in the last 7 meetings in Los Angeles.

Run line/Against the spread

For Los Angeles the Over is 7-0 in their last 7 Saturday games and 4-0-1 during Sandoval’s last 5 starts during game 2 of a series. For Minnesota the Over is 6-1 in their last 7 overall and on grass.

The Over is also 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings in Los Angeles.

Twins at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 4, Angels 3

Moneyline

LEAN TWINS (-120).

Minnesota is 4-0 in their last 4 games after allowing 5 or more runs in their previous outing. The Angels are 0-4 in their last 4 games after scoring 5 or more runs in their previous game. The Twins are only 1-4 in the last 5 meetings but Ryan’s pitching gives them a big advantage.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Angels are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings over 2 seasons, but the pitching of Detmers will make it hard for them to win. Still, they should make this game close but the line is risky. The moneyline and O/U plays are both safer bets.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (+100).

For Minnesota the Under is 6-1 in their last 7 games following an off-day. For Los Angeles the Under is 4-0 in their last 4 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days and the Under is 2-0-2 in their last 4 after allowing 5 or more runs in their previous game.

Minnesota Twins at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Minnesota Twins at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Minnesota Twins (6-8) meet the Los Angeles Angels (8-5) Saturday for Game 2 of a three-game set at Angel Stadium. First pitch is set for 9:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Twins vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Angels took Game 1 of the series 10-3, taking a 4-3 lead in the 6th and scoring 6 more runs in the bottom of the 7th.

Season series: Angels 1-0

RHP Matt Shoemaker gets the start for the Twins Saturday. Shoemaker played for the Angels the first six years of his career. He is 1-0 with a 4.09 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 9.8 K/9 and 0.8 BB/9 over 2 starts this season.

  • Last outing: No-decision in 5 IP with 4 ER, 7 H, 1 BB and 7 K in 8-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners Sunday
  • Career at Angel Stadium: 19-15 with a 3.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 in 267 2/3 IP across 44 starts and 5 bullpen appearances

LHP Jose Quintana is on the mound for the Angels. Quintana is 0-1 with a 16.20 ERA, 3.40 WHIP, 16.2 K/9 and 12.6 BB/9 in 2 starts.

  • Last outing: Loss in 1 2/3 IP with 7 R (5 ER), 5 H, 4 BB and 4 K in 15-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays April 10

Twins at Angels odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 3:52 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Twins -115 (bet $115 to win $100) | Angels -105 (bet $105 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Twins -1.5 (+135) | Angels +1.5 (-160)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Twins 7, Angels 3

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the TWINS (-115) for a half unit because Minnesota has a little more motivation to get Shoemaker his first career win over his former team. As a bettor, I’m always looking for motivational edges in regular-season action.

Also, right-handed hitters are drilling Quintana so far this year and the heart of Minnesota’s lineup is righties.

For instance, righties have a .492 wOBA this season vs. Quintana (lefties have a .127 wOBA) and are slashing .450/.593/.500 (compared to lefties’ .143/.143/.143 slash line).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS with a “lean” on Twins -1.5 (+135) because I like Minnesota to win outright, but the payout isn’t juicy enough for the run line.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 9 (-110) for a quarter unit mostly because of Minnesota’s previously discussed edge in the starting pitching matchup.

But despite my preference for Shoemaker in this spot, he is still Minnesota’s fifth starter

What’s holding me back from betting more on the Over is more than 95% of the money wagered is on the Over (according to Pregame.com) and it’s generally not profitable in sports betting to follow a crowd of people.
