Matchup History

Minnesota’s 11-2 win over the Yankees on Thursday made it back-to-back wins for the Twins in this head-to-head matchup.

Minnesota is 10-4 in their last 14 games overall and 6-2 in their last 8 road games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against the AL East. New York is 59-22 in their last 81 games against the AL Central and 1-6 in their last 7 Friday games while the under is 24-9-1 in their last 34 games following a loss.

Pick

I’m backing the Yankees here. The Twins took out the ugly stick and beat on the Yankees on Thursday, but I chalk a lot of that up to Jhony Brito’s youth and not being able to get out of the jam he found himself in. New York’s got Cortes going here and he’s a far more reliable starter in this matchup and I think he finds a way to lead the Yankees to revenge with a win here. Give me the Yankees.
