The Minnesota Twins started the season a woeful 0-9, but have since become competent and will have a four-game winning streak entering Game 2 of their series with the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday. After scoring just 14 runs in their first nine games, the Twins have plated 21 runs in their past four.
- The Twins are hitting .321 during their four-game winning streak.
- Ervin Santana is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in his career against the Brewers.
- The UNDER is 14-3 in the Twins’ past 17 games dating back to last season.
There is a chance that Wily Peralta, who gets the start for the Brewers Tuesday, may be the worst starter in the MLB so far. Peralta has posted a 10.13 ERA through his first three starts while giving up 15 earned runs in 13.1 innings. The OVER is 2-1 in Peralta’s starts this season, but the one under was thanks to the Brewers complete inability to score runs in a 7-0 loss on April 14.
Ervin Santana will take the mound for the streaking Twins, as the right-hander looks to continue his solid start. Santana has posted a solid 3.00 ERA while averaging more than a strikeout per inning.
