Los Angeles Dodgers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/21/25, 6:35 PM  by Erik Gibbs | Modified on 7/22/25 at 12:50 AM in MLB Picks

The Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Dodgers kick off a compelling three-game interleague series today at Dodger Stadium. Both clubs are looking to shift momentum following mixed starts to the second half of the season. While the Twins narrowly avoided a sweep by winning the final game of their last series, the Dodgers are reeling from a series sweep and have struggled with just two victories in their last 12 outings.

The recent head-to-head history between these two franchises heavily favors Los Angeles. The Dodgers have dominated the matchup, winning 14 of the last 16 meetings against Minnesota. In their 2024 series, the Dodgers took two out of three games at Target Field, showcasing their lineup depth and superior pitching. Now back home, the Dodgers hope to reassert themselves after a disappointing post-All-Star break stretch.

Despite recent struggles, Los Angeles still holds the top spot in the NL West and boasts one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball. Shohei Ohtani continues to shine in his first season with the Dodgers, leading the team with 105 hits and 65 RBI. Alongside him, Andy Pages and Freddie Freeman have formed a formidable trio, combining for nearly 200 hits and over 100 RBI. Offensively, the Dodgers remain a threat every night, but their pitching woes have started to overshadow their potent bats.
