Minnesota Twins vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Twins here. Not a Game I’m rushing to bet, but as much as the Brewers could really use a win in this series, it’s hard to get behind them given their run of form entering the all-star break. The Twins have still been playing solid baseball, and even if the starting pitching cancels out, I think you have to give a significant edge in the bullpen to the Twins as well. Give me Minnesota here.
