Twins vs Brewers Prediction
Minnesota was able to snap its long losing streak with a win on Thursday afternoon, and they will look to make it two wins in a row here. The Twins are 20-12 at home this year, while the Brewers are 17-20 on the road. Milwaukee has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but they are starting Misiorowski, who was very good in his first start. The Twins are starting Ryan, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. I think runs could be at a premium in this game, but I think Milwaukee at this price is a solid option, especially with how Misiorowski looked in his first outing.
