The Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers square off for the third game in a four game inter-league series.
Pitching Probables: Twins Bartolo Colon (3–9) 7.32 ERA vs. Brewers Brandon Woodruff (1–0) 0.00 ERA
Minnesota has won three straight games which include Games 1 and 2 vs the Brewers. They currently sit 5.5 games behind the Indians in the AL Central but they are 1.5 games out in the AL Wildcard standings. The Twins hand the ball to the ageless veteran, Bartolo Colon for Wednesday’s matchup.
Bartolo Colon makes his 18th start of the season and perhaps father time is catching up with Colon. Bartolo has struggled a bit this season but he won for the first time in nine starts in his last start, which came at home against the Rangers Friday. He allowed four runs on nine hits with one walks and five strikeouts while going the distance in an 8–4 Minnesota victory. Over his last 6 starts, Colon has allowed on average 4.6 runs while averaging 5.2 innings pitched.
Milwaukee let a three-run lead slip away Monday and it cost them a game in the standings. The Brewers entered Tuesday 1.5 games behind the Cubs in the NL Central with the loss. Getting the nod in tonight’s game will be Brandon Woodruff. Woodruff picked up the win in his major league debut, which came Friday night against Tampa Bay on the road.
Woodruff was 6–5 with a 4.46 ERA, a 1.349 WHIP, 24 walks and 70 strikeouts over 72.2 innings in 15 starts for Triple-A Colorado Springs prior to being called up to the Majors.
Over is 3–0–2 in Twins last 5 vs. a team with a winning record, the Over is 8–1–3 in Twins last 12 vs. National League Central and the Over is 3–1–1 in Twins last 5 overall. The Over is 12–2–3 in Brewers last 17 vs. American League Central and the Over is 24–8–4 in Brewers last 36 inter-league home games vs. a right-handed starter. I recommend taking the Over 10 in this matchup.
