The Minnesota Twins

The AL Central is a very weak division, as the Minnesota Twins are leading the division despite having the sixth-best record in the American League. One of their weaknesses is their bullpen, as they have a 3.92 ERA, which is 15th in the sport. Their bullpen ERA in July is 4.04, or 17th in baseball.

They do not have a lockdown closer as they have six relievers with at least one save. Their primary closer (Emilio Pagan) has nine saves but he also has an ERA of 5.03 and six blown saves.

The Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers have a great closer on paper in Josh Hader. But he has been awful recently. He entered July 4 with an ERA of 1.05. Now, it is 4.36 because he has an ERA of 15.95 in his last nine appearances. He also had allowed at least one run in six of those games. Overall, their bullpen has a 5.53 ERA in the month of July, which is 26th.

In addition, relievers Brent Suter, Jandel Gustave, and Trevor Gott all have ERA’s north of 4.00.
