Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 09/09/25

The Minnesota Twins give the ball to Zebby Matthews, a young right hander still working through the ups and downs of his rookie season. Across 13 starts, Matthews holds a 4–4 record with a 4.73 ERA and 75 strikeouts, showing flashes of upside but also vulnerability when he leaves pitches over the plate. His Statcast profile suggests he’s still learning to command his stuff at the big league level, as opponents have produced an average exit velocity near 90 mph with a double digit barrel rate. Still, his ability gives him a path to keep the Angels’ offense quiet if he can limit mistakes. Minnesota’s lineup has been producing more consistently of late, but the Twins will likely need their pitching to set the tone in this matchup.

On the other side, the Angels counter with veteran Kyle Hendricks, who has built a career on precision and soft contact. Despite a 6–9 record and 4.81 ERA over 142.1 innings, Hendricks continues to induce weak ground balls and frustrate hitters with his command, even without overpowering velocity. He’s coming off several steady outings, including six innings of two-run ball, and his ability to keep games under control remains valuable for a young Angels roster. Offensively, the Angels have been inconsistent, but players like Logan O’Hoppe and Taylor Ward give them timely production. With Matthews’ inexperience against a patient lineup and Hendricks’ knack for keeping bats quiet, this game sets up as a lower scoring contest. The most compelling play is the Under 9 total runs…especially after yesterday’s high scoring game that combined for 15 runs.
