Yankees vs Twins Prediction
The Yankees are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Twins and have won their last three visits in Minnesota.
In this Yankees vs Twins Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -170 road favorites. I like the Yankees in this one in a great price with Max Fried on the mound, who has been lights out lately, having given up one run or less in each of his last six starts. Ober has also been in great form, but the Twins cannot hit lefties lately and their bullpen has been struggling as well, so you can only go with the Yankees on the moneyline in this one, as they have been red-hot with a 6-1 record in their last 7 games, while the Twins are just 2-6 in their last 8.
