Our Twins vs. Dodgers predictions expect strong performances from Will Smith and Shohei Ohtani in a comfortable L.A. victory.

Smith started each of the Dodgers' first two games out of the All-Star break, going 3-for-8 at the dish, but he'll get a breather for Sunday's afternoon affair. Dalton Rushing is starting behind the plate and batting ninth in the series finale against Milwaukee.
