Brewers vs. Twins picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 6, Twins 4
Money line
The BREWERS (+115) are a decent underdog play in the opener of this interleague quick hitter. Milwaukee has won 4 straight interleague games, while going 7-2 in its last 9 on the road.
The Twins are moderate favorites despite the fact they’re 2-6 in their last 8 interleague home games, while going 5-16 in their last 21 following a victory.

Run line/Against the spread
The BREWERS +1.5 (-175) have a decent price if you’d like a little insurance and just don’t trust the visitors to win straight up.
The Twins have failed to record a victory in their last 4 games following an off day, too. Back the Brewers.
Over/Under
The OVER 9.5 (+100) is worth a small-unit play, as we have a pair of subpar pitchers squaring off against each other.
The Over has also hit in 5 straight interleague games and 5 of the last 6 road outings for the Brewers.
The Twins have cashed the Over at a 5-0-1 clip across their last 6 games overall, while going 4-0-1 in their last 5 against right-handed starting pitchers.
