7:40 PM Milwaukee Brewers @ Minnesota Twins

Brewers: +125
Twins: -140
Total: 9

The Twins begin a 6-game homestand when they face the Brewers tonight. The Twins are coming off a 6-5 win over the Rangers on Sunday which concluded a 3-3 road trip. The Brewers are coming off a disappointing homestand in which they won only 2 of 6 games and just dropped back-to-back games to the Pirates over the weekend. The Twins will be starting rookie right-hander Josh Winder (4-2, 3.12 ERA), who will make his 10th appearance and he’s been sharp lately, posting a 2-0 record with a 1.64 ERA over his last 2 starts. He has never faced the Brewers. The Brewers will counter with rookie right-hander Jason Alexander (2-1, 4.75). In his most recent outing, Alexander was touched up for 7 runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Cubs. Alexander never has faced the Twins. The Brewers have struggled in recent games as the offense has been getting on base but leaving runners stranded. You can expect that to turn around.

⚾The Twins are .500 since June 1.

⚾The Brewers are ranked 4th in homeruns in MLB.

⚾The Brewers are 7-2 in their last 9 road games.

⚾The Over is 5-0 in Brewers last 5 interleague games.
