The read
Saturday night under the closed roof in Milwaukee, the Twins are looking to build on a strong series opener. I’m taking Minnesota to win as the underdog.
The matchup starts with Taj Bradley. His cutter and splitter are both real weapons alongside his high-powered fastball, and he has been strong in each of his recent starts. Milwaukee also has left-handed hitters he can go after. Robert Gasser has pitched well lately, but he has struggled against right-handed hitters over the full season, and Minnesota’s lineup is loaded from that side.
Royce Lewis and Josh Bell are hitting the ball hard, Luke Keaschall has added more power, and Kaelen Culpepper immediately brought energy to the lower part of the lineup. Milwaukee has the stronger group of relief pitchers, so Minnesota needs to score early. Still, Bradley and this lineup matchup give the Twins a real chance to win, and I like the return I’m getting on the underdog.
The full analysis
The matchup starts with Taj Bradley, whose cutter and splitter give him two legitimate weapons beyond his 97 mph fastball. He has delivered three straight quality starts, and Milwaukee’s lineup includes several left-handed bats he can attack. On the other side, Robert Gasser has pitched well lately, but his season-long vulnerability to right-handed hitters runs directly into a Minnesota order stacked from that side.
Royce Lewis and Josh Bell are driving the ball, Luke Keaschall has supplied additional punch, and Kaelen Culpepper immediately brought energy to the bottom half of the lineup. Milwaukee has the bullpen advantage, so Minnesota needs to do its damage early, but Bradley and the lineup matchup make the Twins a live outright winner. At +131, that’s the side I want.

Props on this game
3Royce LewisOVER 1.5 Total Bases Total Bases+148
WActual 3
I’m backing Royce Lewis to clear 1.5 total bases at +148. Lewis has been Minnesota’s best hitter lately, producing five barrels over his last 24 balls in play while clearing this number in eight of his last 15 games.
Robert Gasser has allowed a .771 OPS and nine home runs to right-handed hitters. Lewis also gets opportunities against a sinker that has allowed a .405 xwOBA. With his current contact quality, an extra-base hit or a two-hit game is live at an attractive price.
Taj BradleyOVER 2.5 Pitcher Walks Pitcher Walks-109
LActual 2
I’m playing Taj Bradley over 2.5 walks. Bradley has issued 10 walks across his last three starts and has gone over this number in six of his last eight.
Milwaukee averages more than four walks per game, and this lineup has several hitters willing to make Bradley work. His cutter and splitter can generate chases, but the fastball has not consistently put hitters away. Three walks is a modest target given his recent command.
Josh BellOVER 0.5 Home Runs Home Runs+550
LActual 0
I’m taking a shot on Josh Bell to homer at +550. Bell will hit right-handed against Robert Gasser, who has surrendered nine home runs in 169 at-bats against right-handed hitters this season.
Bell is seeing the ball extremely well, with nine hits, two homers and three barrels over the last seven days. He also went deep from the right side in Friday’s series opener. In a hitter-friendly park, +550 is enough for me to bet that power carrying into another night.
