Baseball Odds: Twins Host Brewers in MLB Mismatch - Handicappers Hideaway

Baseball Odds: Twins Host Brewers in MLB Mismatch







The Minnesota Twins are the most profitable team in the American
League. The Milwaukee Brewers have lost more money than anyone else in
the National League. This Friday (8:10 PM ET), the Twins will host the
Brewers in what has to be considered a major mismatch at this point.

Not much was expected of either team going into the 2015 campaign. The
Brewers (18-36, minus-17.52 units going into Thursday’s action) were
50-1 to win the World Series, and meanwhile the Twins (31-21,
plus-16.19 units) were even further down the odds list at 100-1. But
Minnesota is tied for the AL Central lead despite a so-so run
differential of plus-17, thanks in part to an 11-7 record in one-run
games and a 3-1 record in extra innings.





Ricky Nolasco (2.80 FIP) was scheduled at press time to start for
Minnesota, but will probably be pushed back to Saturday or even longer
because of a right ankle impingement. Kyle Lohse (5.00 FIP) responds for
Milwaukee; Lohse is having an unusually bad season, leading the
Brewers to a 4-7 team record for a loss of 3.28 betting units. The over
is 6-3-2 in his 11 starts thus far.

Baseball Odds: Twins Host Brewers in MLB Mismatch - Handicappers Hideaway

All signs point to a Kurt Suzuki slump-busting game. - Handicappers Hideaway

All signs point to a Kurt Suzuki slump-busting game.



Welcome back to another great week of Daily Fantasy Baseball advice.


Minnesota Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki ($7,098), who enjoyed one of his
best-hitting seasons last year, has experienced some major shrinkage in
his offensive output in 2015. And with a .192 mark over his last seven
games, things haven’t been getting any better. In fact, Suzuki has seen a
fair amount of pine time lately — but there is some good news.


The Twins kick off another series against Boston on Monday, and the
veteran backstop simply loves facing the BoSox, hitting safely in 13
straight games against them to the tune of a .417 mark. Better
yet,Boston is starting Clay Buchholz, a pitcher whom Suzuki is 9-for-18
against in his career. We’re banking on Suzuki snapping his slump in a
big way Monday.


It’s time to jump on Miami 1B Justin Bour’s ($11,658) train. This
rookie just keeps mauling pitchers, having gone deep three straight
games. In all, Bour is 24-for-65 (.369) with five dingers this season.
Oh sure, this may all be a weird anomaly, but that doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t take advantage of his hot streak while you can.


Colorado 2B DJ LeMahieu ($9,545) is an amazing pick right now. He had
a huge game Sunday (3-for-4, two runs, two-run homer) to raise his BA
to .380 over the last 13 games. Keep in mind, LeMahieu enjoyed an even
better April than May, and overall, we are loving how productive he’s
been this season.


But here’s the kicker: he has struggled against the Dodgers lately
(.146 BA over last 14 games) and specifically against Clayton Kershaw
(who hasn’t?), going just 2-for-14 over the last two seasons. We’re
recommending you discard the history and ride the hot hand — especially
considering that Kershaw hasn’t exactly looked like himself early on
this season.

Quick Hits

• On Monday, Atlanta SP Alex Wood has a chance to win a third straight
  start for the first time in his career — all on the road. He’s only
  given up three runs in 14 IP over his last two outings.
• Tampa Bay 3B Evan Longoria is 0-for-5 in his career against Monday’s
  starter, Garrett Richards. Longo is also hitless in his last two games
  with just a .227 mark over the last week and a substandard .262 BA in
  May.
• Seattle SP Felix Hernandez (8-1 with a 1.91 ERA) is averaging over
  seven innings per start, putting him on pace to top 225 frames for the
  sixth time in his career. Workhorse!
