Twins vs Dodgers Prediction and Picks
Odds are available as of April 9th, 2024. Odds may now differ.
After the Dodgers’ 4-2 win on Monday, we’re backing Los Angeles again in Tuesday’s matchup. The starting pitching duel is even more favorable for the team from southern California with hard-throwing Tyler Glasnow taking on Louie Varland.
The latter gave up three earned runs on six hits to the Milwaukee Brewers in his first start of the season. His xERA has been in the mid-fours in each of the last two seasons. This Dodgers lineup is really cooking right now, with Shohei Ohtani on a five-game multi-hit streak.
Look for the Dodgers to take an early thread against Varland, while Glasnow should be dominant again after giving up three earned runs to the Giants in his last outing.

Minnesota Twins News, Injury Report, Schedule: Need To Get On Track
Monday’s loss dropped the Twins to 3-5. It’s far too early to panic for the team many picked to win the AL Central, but they need to get on track sooner rather than later. Held to just two runs yesterday, Minnesota’s offense ranks among the worst in baseball so far in both their production and quality of contact.
Steven Okert and Jay Jackson struggled out of the bullpen. There is limited confidence in their relief corps with Caleb Thielbar and Jhoan Duran both on the injured list.
Byron Buxton being back in center field is the biggest positive of the season so far, and the former top prospect pulled off a stunning Superman grab in the series opener.
Los Angeles Dodgers News, Injury Report, Schedule: Set For The Series Win
Tyler Glasnow dominated in spring training. He has a 3.18 ERA through his first three regular-season starts as a Dodger and has crucially protected the bullpen by going five or more innings in each of those outings.
The top of the Dodger lineup was fearsome again on Monday with Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Will Smith combining for seven hits. Base knocks from James Outman and Gavin Lux are a positive, too. Teams have no chance of stopping this Dodgers offense if the bottom of the lineup starts hitting.
After a series loss to the Cubs, Los Angeles is well-placed to win on Tuesday and seal a series win over the Twins.
Twins vs Dodgers H2H: Dodgers Hold All-Time Advantage
The Dodgers have a 16-7 advantage over the Twins in the all-time series. Since the start of 2021, the Dodgers have won seven of the eight contests between these two teams.
Monday’s game bucked the high-scoring trend – it’s just the second game in the last six to produce under 8.5 total runs.
