Angels vs Twins

Halos seek value while Twinkies limp through April skid

Los Angeles Angels

Angels (11-12) VS Twins (9-15)

Apr 25 2025 | 8:40 PM ET | Target Field, Minneapolis, MN

Minnesota Twins
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Angels (+162): B+

The Los Angeles Angels have started to lose their rhythm, winning only three of their last ten games, while the Minnesota Twins continue to struggle an inconsistent start to the season. Minnesota’s lineup is clearly missing some key pieces, putting extra pressure on its remaining hitters against a tough left-hander whose offspeed pitches have historically limited Minnesota’s production. Meanwhile, the Twins' starting pitcher has struggled recently, giving up a significant number of earned runs over his past two outings. With the Angels building early-season momentum and the Twins already facing a steep climb in their division race, Los Angeles offers strong value at plus-money odds.

Honestly, it's hard not to like the Angels here. They’re catching Minnesota at a time when the Twins just can’t seem to get out of their own way, and Los Angeles is stacking wins at the right moment. Taking the Halos as a plus-money play feels like the right move, especially with the Twins looking more like a team searching for answers than one ready to snap out of a slump.

Over/Under Pick - Under 8 (-105): B

Both the Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins come into this matchup with a lack of momentum, with Los Angeles in a 3-7 run and Minnesota ina 5-5 run but well below .500. With key bats missing or limited on both sides, the lineups figure to be less explosive than usual. Los Angeles will turn to a right-hander who has kept current Twins hitters largely quiet, while Minnesota counters with a starter who has consistently frustrated Angels hitters in past meetings. With neither bullpen taxed and cold temperatures expected to keep offense at a minimum, this matchup points toward a lower-scoring affair.

Given how both offenses have been sputtering and the weather forecast calling for chilly conditions, the Under 8 looks like a solid bet. There’s a little risk if someone sneaks out a long ball early, but overall, the situation feels right for a slow-paced, low-scoring night at the ballpark.

Spread Pick - Los Angeles Angels, +1.5 (-130): B

Los Angeles gets a needed boost to its lineup just as Minnesota limps into this series well below the .500 mark early in the season. The Twins’ offense continues to feel the absence of key contributors, and they’ll have to solve a right-hander who has shut them down in past meetings. Meanwhile, Minnesota’s starter has struggled historically against the Angels, a concerning trend given the frigid conditions expected to keep bats quiet at Target Field. With the run line shaded against the visitors, grabbing a run of insurance looks like a smart move for a Los Angeles side that has consistently covered on the road.

Honestly, if you can grab the +1.5 with the Angels, it feels like stealing. Minnesota’s lineup is missing too much firepower, and Los Angeles has been reliable at keeping games tight away from home. One run of cushion in a chilly, low-scoring environment sounds like perfect spring insulation.
