Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
The Brewers keep finding ways to win despite injuries and trades. They’re 24-17, but you know they’ll be frustrated if they don’t make a deeper postseason run. Chad Patrick is starting, and while he’s been solid, he’s struggled on the road.
The Twins are also showing progress, with a 20-24 record and a winning record at home. Joe Ryan is starting, and he’s a guy who could be on the trade market if the Twins don’t improve. He’s got a 2.60 home ERA and has been solid this season.
This one feels like it could be a low-scoring game, with neither team’s offense lighting it up. The Twins’ injuries are starting to pile up, and the Brewers are still dealing with their own injuries. You know how these games go – it’s gonna come down to the bullpen and who can make the big play.
This is a game where you won’t need to worry about a bullpen meltdown if you take the Twins through five innings.
Original Observation: The game will likely come down to which team can make the most of their opportunities, as both teams are struggling to score runs.
