Baseball has been a solid source of income for me over the past few weeks, with very few bad days. Yesterday I had a play against the Astros and they lost the game brutally, but I made up for it with a bet on Yordan Álvarez that balanced it out. He also hit a home run, so if you bet on that you got a return of +230.
Today I’m going to move on to a game between the Brewers and the Twins.
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to do it. They find ways to win games despite losing players and key people in their organization. This year is no different. They traded Freddy Peralta and still have a winning record. Add Peralta to a long list of people who have had to drop out on this journey to find something that works for an eventual World Series title. However, at some point, the team has to feel frustrated by simply making the postseason.

For now, they are 24-17 on the year and 2.5 games behind the Cubs in the NL Central standings.
They have injuries affecting them right now, so maybe the team will be even stronger as the year progresses. Despite trading their ace, they have a collective ERA of 3.35 and a WHIP of 1.23. Chad Patrick will go for the Brewers tonight (at least according to DraftKings). On the season, Patrick has been solid with a 2-2 record, a 3.06 ERA, and a 1.36 WHIP. He’s struggled on the road with a 5.84 ERA, and that’s mostly because he’s allowed four earned runs in each of his last two road outings. Twins hitters are 5-for-15 against Patrick.

For a team that was expected to be one of the worst in the league, the Minnesota Twins are showing remarkable progress. They come into tonight’s game with a 20-24 record and sport a winning record at home. Actually, the home record isn’t that impressive, just 12-11, but it’s certainly better than a losing record.
Despite a .236 batting average, the team has scored 211 runs on the year. The pitching staff has a 4.49 ERA, but the 1.36 WHIP is at least manageable.
Tonight they have a guy who will likely be on the trade market if the Twins’ mild success doesn’t improve by mid-year, Joe Ryan. Many teams view Ryan as the No. 1 or No. 2 option in a rotation, and there are good reasons to think that.

Ryan is 2-3 this year with a 3.43 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. He is also the proud owner of a 2.60 home ERA. He left one out due to injury just two outings ago. However, he returned last week and pitched six innings with one earned run and two hits allowed. Brewers hitters are hitting just 14-for-69 against Ryan.
I don’t see any edge players very well today, other than Andrew Vaughn going hitless. He is 2 for 12 against Ryan in his career with four strikeouts. Patrick has been decent this season, but he doesn’t have the same level of reliability as Ryan. Give me the Twins in this one over five innings; That way, we shouldn’t have to worry about any bullpen meltdowns.
