The Minnesota Twins have capitalized on a slumping Milwaukee Brewers squad and look to climb back to .500 when the two teams head to Miller Park to continue their home-and-home series Wednesday. The Twins took the first two games of the series, both as underdogs, and have now gone 14-6 SU in their past 20 games as dogs against the Brew Crew.
- Brandon Woodruff has averaged 8.6 K/9 across all leagues this season.
- The Brewers are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games at home against teams with losing records.
- The Twins are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games on the road after consecutive home games.
The Twins will start Big Sexy himself, Bartolo Colon, in this one. Colon has looked better since joining the Twins with the former Cy Young Sportsbook posting a 5.18 ERA in four starts. Though that may not look great in a vacuum, when you compare it to the 8.14 ERA he had in Atlanta, Colon has been a solid addition.
The Brewers are going on the opposite end of the experience spectrum, as Brandon Woodruff will make his second major-league start. The 24-year-old pitched 6.1 innings of no-run ball in his debut against Tampa Bay and was able to work himself out of several bad positions.
