2 UNIT = Minnesota Twins @ Milwaukee Brewers - TWINS TO WIN (+111)
Listed Pitchers: Diamond vs Figaro
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.22 units)
The Twins took yesterday's meeting with Milwaukee 6-3. That moves Minnesota to 20-28 on the season (11-15 on the road) and drops Milwaukee down to 19-30 on the year (12-16 at home). The Brewers are just 7-20 in their last 27 games overall. The Twins will have their southpaw Scott Diamond on the mound for tonight's game. He has had his struggles lately against some of the best lineups in the American League (Baltimore, Boston, and Detroit) which has brought his stats to 3-4 with a 4.96 ERA, .302 OBA and 1.48 WHIP. He is a solid 3-0 on the road with a 2.19 ERA, .227 OBA and 0.97 WHIP though, and that has included some good hitting teams as well (Detroit twice, Boston, and the White Sox). Milwaukee will use a reliever in a spot start here tonight. Alfredo Figaro will get the start and he is 0-0 with a 3.46 ERA through 15 relief appearances. Figaro has been a starter in Japan for the past few years, but before that in 2010 over 23 starts in Triple-A he went 10-6 with a 4.14 ERA. Take note that the Twins are 4-1 in their last 5 vs a team with a winning % below .400 and they are 5-2 in Diamond's last 7 road starts. The Brewers are 1-4 in their last 5 home games, 1-6 in their last 7 vs a team with a losing record, and just 1-10 in their last 11 games as a favorite. It also doesn't help Milwaukee that Ryan Bruan may be sitting out again tonight with an injured thumb. Given the pitching match up and the struggles Milwaukee are going through right now I like the underdog price we are getting on Minnesota.
