Twins vs Yankees Prediction
The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked great in their games this season with their 42-19 record overall which is one of the best in the entire MLB right now. They have also looked great in their home games with their 18-8 home record. The Twins have also looked good in their games this season with their 33-26 record overall, but that record only has them in 3rd place of their own division. They are 17-13 in their road games this season, but they don't have the offense that the Yankees have with all of that money the Yankees spent in the off-season and they haven't been as hot coming into this one. The Twins are coming off a win and won their last series, but the Yankees are coming off a sweep and have a lot of momentum on their side with their win streak. They also have Gil starting in this game and he has been one of their best starters all season with 7 wins and an ERA below 2.00. Meanwhile, Ober is starting for the Twins in this game and he hasn't been bad this season, but he has still been giving up quite a few runs in his starts. He does have 5 wins this year, but he also has 3 losses and with the way he has been giving up runs in his starts, he will get himself into trouble here against this Yankees lineup. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game and on the runline.

Notable Quotes
“He’s really done so many different things in the lineup for us. He just plays. He doesn’t get distracted, he doesn’t get caught up in any anything. He’s just ready to play baseball and he’s done a nice job.” - Rocco Baldelli after his team’s win against the Astros in their game on Sunday.
“That’s some savage at-bats right there. Just wow. To get on a pitch like he hit off of Snell to start out … then bookends the day with another homer off Doval. Pretty good day to homer.” - Aaron Boone on Juan Soto after his team’s win against the Giants in their game on Sunday.
