Twins vs. Dodgers Prediction
Will the Twins and Dodgers play under the betting total tonight when the teams open a new series at 10:10PM ET?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Dodgers are -230 money line favorites to beat the Twins, who have odds of +200 to pull off the massive upset in L.A. With Bartolo Colon set to face Hyun-Jin Ryu in the pitching matchup, the over/under currently sits at 9.5 runs.

From Rotoworld: Colon yielded four runs and eight hits in four-plus innings Tuesday in a loss to the Yankees. It was one run through four innings, but Colon gave up a single and two doubles to start the fifth and was pulled. Colon wasn’t promised anything beyond the start tonight, so it’s unclear whether he’ll get a chance to stick in the Twins rotation. Justin Haley is probably next in line.
Ryu (foot) is expected to start against the Twins on Monday. Ryu was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a bruised left foot on July 4. He tossed a simulated game this week which went off without a hitch and so long as he experiences no setbacks over the coming day, should be good-to-go on Monday. He owns a 4.21 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 14 appearances (13 starts) this season.

On the other side, the under is 4-01 in the Dodgers’ last five interleague home games, is 6-1-1 in their last eight home games versus a right-handed starter, and is 19-6-1 in their last 26 home games versus an opponent that owns a winning record.
