The Milwaukee pitching staff has a 4.06 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and a .241 opponent batting average this season. The Brewers offense has scored 267 runs with a .229 batting average and a .307 on base percentage. Rowdy Tellez is batting .226 with 12 home runs and 28 RBI’s for the Brewers. The projected starting pitcher for Milwaukee is Corbin Burnes, who is 5-4 with a 3.36 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP over 77.2 innings pitched this year.
Twins Preview
The Minnesota Twins are 33-33 this season and they have lost six of their last eight games. Minnesota is coming off of a series win against Toronto, where they won two out of three games. The Minnesota pitching staff has a 3.52 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and a .227 opponent batting average.

Trends
Milwaukee is 4-0 in their last 4 games against the AL Central and 2-6 in their last 8 game one’s of a series. The under is 5-1-1 in Milwaukee’s last 7 road games. Minnesota is 3-7 in their last 10 game one’s of a series and 0-6 in their last 6 games following an off day. The under is 4-1 in Minnesota’s last 5 home games. The under is 9-1-1 in these two teams last 11 head to head meetings in Minnesota.
Pick
The Brewers are coming off of a very embarrassing series loss to the Athletics, who have the worst record in baseball, while Minnesota was able to get a big series win in Toronto. Minnesota is starting Pablo Lopez, who has allowed 11 earned runs over his last three starts (18.1 IP). Milwaukee is starting Corbin Burnes, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. I like the Brewers to bounce back and get a win here.
