They hope to get right back on track this weekend, but that won\u2019t be easy against a quality Brewers team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Brew Crew heads to <strong>Minnesota<\/strong> winners of five of their last seven games, taking series against both the Rockies and Diamondbacks. Of course, <strong>Milwaukee<\/strong> has three other teams in the NL Central they have to keep pace with on a daily basis. The <strong>Brewers<\/strong> are only half a game behind the Pirates in the division, but both the Cubs and Cardinals are within two games.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"coming-into-his-own\"><strong>Coming Into His Own<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Minnesota<\/strong> has been pleasantly surprised this season by the presence of Friday\u2019s starter, Kyle Gibson, in their rotation. In eight starts this season, <strong>Gibson<\/strong> is just 1-1, but he\u2019s posted a 3.43 ERA, a significant improvement after pitching to an ERA over 5 each of the past two seasons. Opposing batters are hitting just .200 against him. He\u2019s also accumulated 50 strikeouts in 44.2 innings, a rate far higher than his career numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Gibson\u2019s performance this season is that he\u2019s been more effective against left-handed hitters than righties. That bodes well for facing hitters like <strong>Travis<\/strong> <strong>Shaw<\/strong> and <strong>Christian<\/strong> <strong>Yelich<\/strong> in the middle of Milwaukee\u2019s order. Lorenzo Cain is also a threat, but he\u2019s just 6 for 32 in his career against Gibson dating back to his days in Kansas City. With Eric Thames on the DL and some of Milwaukee\u2019s ancillary hitters struggling, the Brewers are not as formidable offensively as they looked on paper heading into the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"giving-up-the-long-ball\"><strong>Giving Up the Long Ball<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lefty <strong>Brent Suter<\/strong> will take the mound for the Brewers Friday night. He looked like a keeper after posting a 3.42 ERA for the Brewers last season, but it\u2019s been a struggle for Suter early in 2018, going 2-3 with a 5.14 ERA. Suter\u2019s biggest problem has been the long ball, giving up seven on the season and two in each of his last couple outings. He\u2019s also struggling to go deep in games, which will put some pressure on <strong>Milwaukee\u2019s<\/strong> bullpen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The good news for Suter is that the Twins are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the <strong>American League<\/strong>. Left fielder Eddie Rosario and third baseman Eduardo Escobar are both having strong seasons. However, Brian Dozier has been underwhelming, Logan Morrison is hitting just .206, <strong>Joe<\/strong> <strong>Mauer<\/strong> is devoid of power, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twincities.com\/2018\/05\/01\/twins-place-miguel-sano-on-disabled-list-for-third-straight-season\/\"> Miguel Sano is on the DL<\/a>. Despite his struggles this season, the Twins could end up being a good matchup for Suter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bet-on-the-brew-crew\"><strong>Bet on the Brew Crew<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite Suter\u2019s struggles in his has couple outings, the Twins don\u2019t have the kind of potent lineup that can get to him early. If Suter can just give the <strong>Brewers<\/strong> five decent innings, their bullpen can take it from there. The Minnesota bullpen is not quite as strong, and that\u2019ll end up being the difference.\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Take the Milwaukee Brewers +144 over the Minnesota Twins in a Major League Baseball affair on Friday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on Major League Baseball at MyBookie<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let&#8217;s take a look at the Friday Night Baseball affair featuring the Milwaukee Brewers at Minnesota Twins.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
