Twins at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 6, Twins 3
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s no value in betting on the Yankees, and they have a significant pitching advantage. At -190, they aren’t worth a play, and they’re also too hot to bet against.
Run line/Against the spread
BET YANKEES -1.5 (+106).
The Yankees have covered in 5 straight games, winning by 4, 2, 4, 4, and 5 in those. They are 36-25 ATS on the season and 14-13 ATS at home. They are the 6th-best team in the MLB at covering as a home favorite.
Also, Minnesota is 8-8 ATS as a road underdog, which is the 6th-worst covering rate.
Given the advantage on the mound with Rodon, who has helped the Yankees cover in his last 5 starts, expect New York to win by multiple runs and take YANKEES -1.5 (+106).
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-105).
The Yankees have gone north of the total in 4 of their last 5 games, and their offense has been red hot. They have scored 6 or more in 4 of those games.
Minnesota, while it has gone Under in 4 straight, has tallied at least 4 runs in 3 of its last 5 games. Both offenses have been playing at a high level. Expect that to continue and take OVER 8.5 (-105).
