DraftKings/Caesars. Taj Bradley has struggled away from Target Field this season (relative to his performance at home). His ERA spikes to 4.17, his walk rate jumps to 11.7% and pitches per plate appearance to 4.07. As a result, heтАЩs under this line in 8/13 road contest. Today will be tough, as the Brewers have an .818 OPS at home versus righties since June 1st, with an 11.2% walk rate. Plus, the Brewers take a patient approach at the plate, with the lowest team chase rate.
To quote the Other Guys, maybe one of five movies I actually laugh out loud at, there are three things I like: "Kylie Minogue, small dimples (leave the rest of that quote there) ... and the fear in a man's eye when he knows I'm about to hurt him." Then a random TLC reference by Captain Gene, but I digress. Do like Kylie and dimples (and TLC) but more so the Brewers. When a good team loses at home to a mediocre/bad team in a series opener, I hammer said good team in the second game short of injury/pitching mismatches. We are there, and Twins closer Yoendrys Gomez and a few other high-leverage Minny guys will not be available having pitched Thursday and Friday.
