Schule's MLB Merchant of Death - *EARLY START*
(MLB) Minnesota vs. Milwaukee, 06/27/2015 10:10 AM, Score: 5 - 2
Money Line: -116.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Twins lost the opening game of this series in Milwaukee by a score of 10-4 last night, and they've now lost 11 of their last 17 overall. The Brewers on the other hand have won three of four during this current home stand, and I like Milwaukee to stay hot here this afternoon.

Kyle Gibson will toe the slab for the Twins, and he's 0-3 in his last five starts. Gibson (4-6, 3.35 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on six hits and three walks over five innings in an 8-0 loss to the Cubs his last time out. He's 1-3 with a 3.93 ERA in six starts on the road, and an even more concerning 1-4 with a 4.02 ERA in seven starts in day games. He faced the Brewers at home earlier this season, and surrendered five runs on six hits (3 home runs), but did not factor in the decision.

The Brewers hand the ball to Matt Garza, who has been pretty brutal overall this season. Garza (4-9, 5.48 ERA) was torched for 10 runs on 13 hits over 5 1/3 innings in a loss at Coors Field his last time out. You can't fault him for a bad game in Colorado, and he actually does have encouraging splits at home and in the day. While he hasn't been getting the wins, his home ERA is much better than on the road, and he's a solid 4-2 with a 3.59 ERA in day games.

Garza has owned the Twins, going 2-0 with an 0.89 ERA in his last three starts versus Minnesota.

Take MIL.
