Brewers vs Twins Prediction
The Twins still haven’t lost a game since May 2 and are rolling at the plate and on the mound. The Twins have produced back-to-back shutouts and have allowed one or fewer runs in four of their last seven games. Not much should change with Lopez on the mound, an all-star caliber pitcher who has a 2.77 ERA and 0.97 WHIP on the season. The Brewers have been shut out in three of their last four games, so it doesn’t matter how well Myers is pitching right now. Until the Twins cool off, I’m going to continue backing them, especially with prices this soft. Give me the Twins to keep the ball rolling.
