Brewers vs Twins Prediction

The current betting odds have the Twins listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Twins haven't looked great in their games this season as they are barely staying over .500 at the moment, but they are still leading the AL Central with the best record and just beat the Blue Jays in their road series over the weekend so they are going to have some momentum coming into this one. The Brewers have been in a similar situation as they were leading their division with a barely .500 record over the weekend but they have fallen into a slump now on a bad losing streak and they were just swept by the worst team in the MLB. Burnes is on the mound for them here but he hasn't been his usual self this year and has been giving up a lot more runs in his starts. The Twins have been a lot better in their home games this season and they will take advantage of the way Burnes has been pitching this season. Lopez is up for the Twins here and he hasn't been his usual self either but he still hasn't been giving up many runs this season and has been pitching a lot better in his starts lately. The Twins are on a bit of a roll now with their series win over the Jays and they will use that momentum at home here to take advantage of a slumping Brewers team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Twins to win this game.

Brewers Twins Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Tuesday, June 13, 2023 (7:40 pm ET start time) is Twins 4 Brewers 2.

Notable Quotes


“It’s Major League Baseball, and from what I know about it, everybody is kind of an inch from the top and an inch from the bottom. They’ve been getting their teeth kicked in all year in an embarrassing way when you look at overall record, but these are major league players. I know some of the characters they’ve got over there, and they have some great character." - Pat Murphy after his team’s loss against the A’s in their game on Sunday.


“We didn’t get it done. It’s disappointing when you have a lead and you can’t hold it.” - Rocco Baldelli after his team’s loss against the Blue Jays in their game on Sunday.
