New York Yankees vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’ll stay with the Yankees. Rodon is rolling along quite well these days. In his last three starts Rodon is 3-0 with 18.0 innings, five earned runs, 10 hits and six walks to his credit. As for Paddack, he’s not doing too badly himself with eight earned over the last 18.2 innings. Paddack doesn’t have a decision in that time, though.
On Tuesday the Yankees didn’t really have a ton of offense overall but they got a lot out of their half-dozen hits. Giancarlo Stanton (two RBI) and Gleyber Torres each homered, and the pitching certainly helped as well. I like New York to keep it going Wednesday.
