Starting Pitching Situation Favors Minnesota Early
Milwaukee has not officially announced a starting pitcher for this matchup, while Minnesota is expected to hand the ball to Joe Ryan. Ryan enters this game with a 2-3 record, a 3.43 ERA, and a 1.03 WHIP across 44.2 innings. He has allowed 33 hits while recording 45 strikeouts, 13 walks, and 3 home runs. Ryan’s ability to limit baserunners has been one of the more impressive pitching numbers entering this matchup, especially against a Milwaukee offense that has relied on consistent contact throughout the season.
Milwaukee Carrying Momentum Into Minneapolis
Milwaukee enters this matchup with a strong 24-17 overall record and a 9-8 road mark. The Brewers recently won over San Diego 7-1 and 6-4 while recently losing to San Diego 3-1. Before that, Milwaukee recently won over the Yankees 4-3 and 4-3 in 10 innings. The Brewers have won four of their last five games and continue to play well in close contests.
The Brewers are batting .243 with 202 runs, 326 hits, and 27 home runs this season. Milwaukee owns a .334 on-base percentage and a .356 slugging percentage. On the mound, the Brewers carry a 3.43 ERA and 1.23 WHIP while holding opponents to a .225 batting average. Milwaukee has also recorded 392 strikeouts with 144 walks.

Milwaukee’s biggest strength entering this matchup has been pitching consistency. The Brewers have the lower ERA, lower WHIP, and lower opponent batting average compared to Minnesota. Even though Milwaukee has not relied heavily on home run power, the team has continued to generate wins through balanced offensive production and solid run prevention.
Minnesota Trying to Stay Hot at Home
Minnesota comes into Friday’s game with a 20-24 overall record and a 12-11 home mark. The Twins recently won over Miami and Cleveland 9-1, 3-0, 5-4, and 2-1 in 11 innings while recently losing to Miami 9-5. Minnesota has won four of its last five games and has played stronger baseball during this recent stretch.
The Twins are batting .235 with 202 runs, 338 hits, and 49 home runs this season. Minnesota owns a .323 on-base percentage and a .385 slugging percentage. On the pitching side, the Twins have posted a 4.57 ERA and 1.37 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .249 against them. Minnesota has also recorded 324 strikeouts and issued 159 walks.
Minnesota’s biggest strength is power production. The Twins have hit 49 home runs compared to just 27 for Milwaukee, which gives them the ability to create offense quickly. However, Minnesota’s pitching numbers have been less consistent, especially compared to Milwaukee’s strong overall staff performance.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Minnesota Twins Picks and Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers vs Minnesota Twins Pick
- Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline
Milwaukee enters this game playing the better overall baseball over the last week and also owns the stronger overall pitching profile. The Brewers have won four of their last five games while carrying advantages in ERA, WHIP, opponent batting average, and strikeout production. Minnesota has also been hot recently, but the Twins’ pitching staff has struggled more throughout the season. With Milwaukee continuing to find ways to win close games, the Brewers look like the stronger side in this matchup.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Minnesota Twins Total Pick
- Pick: Under 8
I am leaning toward the under because Milwaukee’s pitching staff has consistently limited opponents all season. The Brewers own a 3.43 ERA and are holding opponents to a .225 batting average. Minnesota has also recently played several lower-scoring games, including 3-0, 2-1, and 5-4 results. Joe Ryan’s strong WHIP and strikeout numbers also point toward a more controlled scoring environment in this matchup.
Final Score Prediction: Milwaukee Brewers 4 – Minnesota Twins 3
