Twins vs Brewers Betting Prediction
Milwaukee comes into this game looking to stay undefeated and they have allowed two runs or fewer in three of their first four games. The Brewers are going to start Joe Ross in this game, who hasn’t pitched in the MLB since 2021. Minnesota opened the season with two wins against Kansas City, but they have lost two straight and allowed 11 runs on Sunday. The Twins are starting Chris Paddack, who only pitched a handful of innings last season. This is an interesting pitching matchup, as neither starter has many innings under their belt in the last year or so. I think this game could go either way, but the Minnesota offense is definitely a worry, so I will take the Brewers here.
