Game Prediction
The Dodgers clinched the series yesterday and want to complete the sweep in the Land of Lakes today. Miller should have a decent day on the mound against this struggling Twins lineup. Paddack is off to a decent start this year, but this LA batting lineup is stout, and he will likely struggle to slow them down. Back the Dodgers to sweep the series and cover the spread in this one.
Final Pick
Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-115)
