BREWERS VS TWINS PREDICTION
The Brewers lefty Eric Lauer (4-4, 3.59 ERA) will start the series opener for Milwaukee. Lauer is 0-1 with a 17.18 ERA in one career start against the Twins, giving up seven runs on nine hits. The Twins have left-hander Andrew Albers (0-0, 2.25) making his first start of the season and first career appearance against the Brewers. The Brewers are expected to be without Adames and Escobar which will affect this team’s offense. The Twins could be getting Buxton back for this game which will be a big boost for the offense and defense. The Brewers have struggled in their interleague matchups on the year, and heading on the road to Minnesota isn’t as easy of a game as it might appear. This line opened with Milwaukee at -140 and the public has been pounding them but there has been reverse line movement on the Twins. Look for the Twins to take one from the Brew Crew in this spot.
