Minnesota Twins vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. I just think that Taj Bradley can have a solid outing here as he has had for the Twins for much of the season, while on the other side, the Brewers send out Gasser who has been decent but the Twins have had big time issues against lefties for much of the season and I think this is going to be a low-scoring duel here. Give me the under.
