Brewers vs Twins Prediction

The current betting odds have the Twins listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Twins are leading the AL Central right now but they haven't been great this season with their barely winning record overall. They have been a lot better in their home games though and they have started to play a lot better in their games lately too. The Brewers are in a similar situation as they are struggling to stay above .500 this season but they have been in a big slump lately and haven't been playing well at all. Ober is starting for the Twins here and he has been pitching well in his starts lately, he will continue pitching well at home here as the Brewers offense has been struggling a lot to put up runs in their games all season. Rea is starting for the Brewers but he has been really up and down in his starts and with the Brewers being in a big slump right now and also having one of the weakest offenses in the MLB, he is not going to get a ton of run support here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Twins to win this game.

Brewers Twins Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Wednesday, June 14, 2023 (1:10 pm ET start time) is Twins 6 Brewers 3.

Notable Quotes


“It’s Major League Baseball, and from what I know about it, everybody is kind of an inch from the top and an inch from the bottom. They’ve been getting their teeth kicked in all year in an embarrassing way when you look at overall record, but these are major league players. I know some of the characters they’ve got over there, and they have some great character." - Pat Murphy after his team’s loss against the A’s in their game on Sunday.


“We didn’t get it done. It’s disappointing when you have a lead and you can’t hold it.” - Rocco Baldelli after his team’s loss against the Blue Jays in their game on Sunday.
