7-Unit Play. Take #930 Minnesota (-130) over Milwaukee (8:10 p.m., Friday, June 5) Minnesota has the second best home record in the majors at 19-7 and with Kyle Gibson taking the mound tonight I think they add another in the win column. Gibson is 3-1 with a 1.44 ERA in 5 starts at Target Field and he has not allowed more than 3 runs in any of his last 9 starts. Gibson should be able to count on some run support as the Twins has averaged 5.8 runs per contest in their last 17 home games and as a team Minnesota has batted .297 at home which is 78 points higher than what they have hit on the road this year. The Brewers have been in a bit of a tailspin lately going 2-9 in their last 11 while averaging 2.8 runs and hitting .232 over that time. Kyle Lohse will be on the bump for the Brew Crew and his dreadful season continues as he has allowed 12 earned runs over 8.2 innings in his last two starts with Milwaukee losing his last 3 starts. Lohse hasn’t been fooling hitters much as he owns the majors second highest ERA (6.50) for qualified pitchers and on the year batters are hitting .284 against him and he has given up 13 home runs. The Brewers are 1-6 in Lohse’s last 7 starts as a road underdog while the Twins are 5-0 in their last 5 home games versus a right handed starter and they are 4-0 in Gibson’s last 4 home starts versus a team with a losing record. The Twins are 4-1 against the Brewers in the last 5 matchups in Minnesota and I see that trend continuing with Minnesota picking up another W.
