Milwaukee Brewers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/17/26

The Milwaukee Brewers took the first 2 games of the series over the Minnesota Twins in low-scoring fashion, with 3-2 and 2-1 wins. Milwaukee is on a mission to catch the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central, but they’ll have to do it with a pitcher making his first start of the season in Robert Gasser, while the Twins counter with veteran Bailey Ober.

Gasser was a September call-up for the Brewers in 2025, recording a 3.18 ERA over 2 starts before getting shelled in his 2 appearances in the postseason. The righty didn’t earn a spot on the Opening Day roster for Milwaukee, but has been performing well in AAA with a 3.74 ERA over 6 starts. Gasser does have great strikeout stuff with 32 over 21.2 innings in the minors, and the Twins are top-10 in the majors in most team strikeouts.

Ober is coming off his best start of the season against the Miami Marlins, allowing just 2 hits in a complete game shutout. It was a big bounce-back game for the righty, who allowed 5 earned runs in his previous start, but it was his efficiency of just 89 pitches that stood out in the complete game. With neither team being red-hot with the bats in this series, it’s easy to see a path where the pitchers reign supreme again on Sunday.
