Yankees vs Twins Prediction
The Yankees are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and Judge is back. However, Schlittler has been hittable this season with a 4.38 ERA and 1.66 WHIP, and he’s had an issue keeping the ball in the park. Also, a couple of recent wins don’t allow us to forget the struggles and horrible baseball over the last couple of months. Ryan is an all-star with his 2.79 ERA and 0.92 WHIP, and he has a 2.55 ERA and .201 allowed batting average in 67 road innings. The value is with the Twins and the more favorable price. Give me the Twins.
