This number is all over the place on different books, but PointsBet has the best one. I would take this at 4.0 if you get -120 odds or better and are okay with a potential push. I would lay off at 3.5 because it loses all value there.
Minnesota Twins vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
We’ve only made one bet like this a few days ago, leading to a 3-0 day. Hoping for the same magic here. We have Corbin Burnes on the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers, and he’s an elite pitcher. He faces a Minnesota Twins team who has historically dominated. They have just five hits in 33 at-bats against him; that’s just a .152 batting average. He’s coming fresh off an eight-inning shutout against the Baltimore Orioles, so he seems to have his swagger back.
On the other side, we have Pablo Lopez, who is also coming off a nice game. In his last start, he went seven innings and allowed just one run against the best team in the MLB, in Tampa Bay Rays. Lopez also crushes these Brewers' bats lifetime allowing just five hits in 37 at-bats which is good for just a .135 batting average, very similar but better than Burnes'.
Neither of these offenses scares me, and both of these pitchers have elite stuff with great histories against the opposition. We only lose this one if they combine for 5+ runs in the first five innings, which will be tough to do with a 7.5-game total. Get this one in quick it will move immediately after we tweet it. Let's roll!
