Minnesota Twins @ New York Yankees Preview

The New York Yankees (63-56) host the Minnesota Twins (56-62) at Yankee Stadium in what is expected to be a compelling matchup. The Yankees are coming off a 6-2 victory against the Twins, though their recent form has been mixed with only three wins in their last ten games. Despite this, their offense remains potent, ranking first in slugging percentage and home runs across the league, and fourth in on-base percentage. Carlos Rodón (11-7, 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP) is slated to start for the Yankees, and he has been a reliable arm, contributing to the team's second-ranked batting average against at .230.

The Minnesota Twins, sitting fourth in the AL Central, are looking to rebound from their recent loss to the Yankees. They have shown more consistent form lately, splitting their last ten games with five wins and five losses. Their offense boasts power, ranking 12th in the league with 140 home runs this season, with Byron Buxton being a key contributor with 24 home runs. The Twins' pitching staff has a respectable 998 strikeouts, ranking 13th in the league, but their earned run average ranks 22nd overall. The Twins have not yet announced their starting pitcher for this game, with a bullpen game expected before Joe Ryan on Wednesday. Byron Buxton recently returned from a rib injury and homered in his last game, providing a much-needed boost to the Twins' lineup. Matt Wallner is also expected back from the paternity list.

Pick: New York Yankees Moneyline

The New York Yankees are the clear pick in this matchup. Their recent dominance over the Twins, including winning their last eight head-to-head games and the Twins losing their last six at Yankee Stadium, is a significant factor. The Yankees' offense is elite, leading the league in slugging percentage and home runs, which bodes well against a Twins pitching staff that ranks 22nd in ERA. Carlos Rodón's strong performance against the Twins in his career further solidifies the Yankees' advantage. Sharp money is also heavily favoring the Yankees, with a 68.19% home sharp win percentage. While the moneyline odds of -220 are steep, the statistical and historical trends strongly support a Yankees victory.
