Los Angeles at Minnesota

The Los Angeles Angels are a long way from home playing their third straight road contest. They've dropped four of five, allowing 30 runs in five games. It's also their 11th road game over the last 16 contests. They are still without star Mike Trout and are 2-9 away against a team with a losing home record. Angels righty J.C. Ramirez (4.60 ERA) has been struggling badly, allowing 24 earned runs and nine homers over his last 30+ innings. Minnesota is home and off a 9-5 rout of the Angels. The Twins have scored 27 runs the last four contests (three on the road). The Twins are 20-8 when Kyle Gibson faces a team with a losing record. Minnesota has won five in a row at home over the Angels and is 25-16 against an AL team with an on base percentage .320 or worse, so back the home team. Play Minnesota.
