Both teams are towering over their respected divisions, and after a break form baseball Monday, I can see these teams being rested and ready to score some runs off two pitchers that have struggled against good batting lineups. Twins are starting Joe Ryan on the road, who is 8-4 this season with a 3.67 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 89 strikeouts in 90 innings played. Dodgers are starting 11-6 Julio Urias who has a 2.57 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 109 strikeouts in 115 innings played. Urias has given up runs to the Whitesox, Rockies, and Phillies this season (all well-batting teams), and Joe Ryan has been getting hit like crazy his past few starts ( 8 hits, 10 runs to the Padres) all his last 3 straight starts on the road have gone over 8.5 runs. Either its a close back and forth game, or LAD dominates the Twins; but either way I see it going over the total.

Official Play: Over 8.5 Runs
