Stephen Nover's MLB Friday Bookie Basher
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Minnesota, 08/27/2021 8:10 PM, Score: 0 - 2
Money Line: -125.00 Milwaukee (Away)
Result: Loss
This is one of the rare times where there is more value on the favorite than the underdog. Milwaukee is 28 games above and is 42-21 on the road. Minnesota is 17 games below .500. 

The Twins are 1-5 in their last six games, surrendering an average of 8.8 runs during this span. 

Brewers starter Eric Lauer is a bottom-of-the-rotation type, who doesn't get much respect. But look at who the Twins are pitching, Andrew Albers. He's a 35-year-old journeyman who had been out of the majors for the past four years until resurfacing this year. 

Lauer is good for 4-to-6 innings. He's given up one or fewer earned runs in six of his last seven starts. He's a good fit for the Brewers because their bullpen is strong and deep. Milwaukee has its top bullpen arms rested, too. 

Albers will be making only his second appearance of the season and first start.
