Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees Prediction
I’m on the Twins here. Zebby Matthews has been inconsistent at times, but the Yankees can’t hit right-handed pitching right now and I think Matthews has a decent start here. The Yankees look like they’re employing a bullpen game with the injury to Carlos Rodon and I think the Twins, who are smashing righties at the moment, get to them here and get the win in this one. Give me Minnesota.
