MLB Betting Trends
Milwaukee
The Brewers have won 10 of their last 12 road games and they have won five of their last six interleague games. They also have won 10 of their last 14 interleague road games.
Minnesota
The Twins are just 2-7 in their last nine home games and 1-5 in their last six games against a winning team.
Prediction:
Minnesota has a good starter on the mound, but the Brewers just seem really locked in right now. Guerra has been competitive on the mound and should be able to have a strong showing against these Twins. I like the Brewers to keep their winning ways rolling on the road as they finish a sweep of Minnesota.
The Pick: Milwaukee Brewers +100
