Yankees vs Twins Prediction
You’d think it’s only a matter of time before the Yankees get their act together, but it’s hard to back them as the losses keep piling up. However, Matthews has a 5.17 ERA and 1.38 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 23 hits and 11 runs in his last 19.1 innings. In 24 road innings, Matthews has a 5.63 ERA and .289 allowed batting average. Warren has been hittable lately, allowing 18 runs in his last 35.1 innings. I’m expecting some runs in this spot. Instead of picking a side, give me the over.
