MLB: LA Angels vs Minnesota Twins preview
The Los Angeles Angels will make their first trip to the new Target Field when they take on the Minnesota Twins this weekend in a clash between two consistent playoff teams.
However, if both teams would like to make the postseason again like they did last year then the Angels have a lot of work to do. Currently they sit 8 games behind the Texas Rangers in the battle for the AL West division and they also lag in baseball betting odds. While they do still play the Rangers 7 more times this season, if they have any hopes of making the playoffs this year they will have to string some wins together in a hurry.
Minnesota on the other hand is looking increase their lead over the rival Chicago Whitesox. Minnesota holds a 4 game lead in their division and would not like to lose any ground when playing other quality teams such as the Angels.
With the absence of Liriano and Pavano from this weekend’s rotation, the pitching match ups appear to be rather favorable for the Angels. On Friday Haren will take the mound against Duensing, Saturday pits Bell against Slowey, and Sunday will see Weaver versus Baker in a game that will be telecast on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball.
