Twins vs Yankees Prediction
New York has outscored Minnesota by a total of 15-3 in the first two games of this series, as they are trying to get back on track in the AL East race. The Yankees are 37-24 at home this year, while the Twins are 24-38 on the road. Minnesota has scored two runs or fewer in three of their last four games and they will face Schlittler, who has allowed two earned runs in three of his last four starts. The Twins are going with Ryan, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four. I think Minnesota has the better starter, but I don’t trust them at the plate. Take the Yankees to win.
