After simulating every game on Tuesday 10,000 times, the model is picking the Brewers (-108) to defeat the Twins. Milwaukee returns home from a 6-3 road trip during which it sandwiched three-game sweeps over the Chicago White Sox and Texas around a winless series against the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. The Brewers scored a total of three runs at Los Angeles but bounced back against the Rangers, producing six or more runs in each of the three victories.
Carlos Santana and Willy Adames were strong at the plate in Texas as both players drove in at least one run in each contest. Acquired from Pittsburgh before the trade deadline, Santana belted a three-run homer in the series opener, hit a solo shot and added an RBI double in the second game and delivered a run-scoring single in the finale. Adames went 7-for-9 with a homer and three RBI over the first two contests and plated the game's first run on Sunday when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
