Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees Prediction: Yankees will struggle to stop the Twins

On Wednesday, the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins square off in Major League Baseball action at Target Center. The two squads are now ranked fifth and sixth in the American League.

The Minnesota Twins have scored at least four runs in six of their previous eight games, including a total of 15 runs in their most recent three games. When scoring four or more runs, the Twins have a winning record of 9-3 so far this season. The Twins are led in hits and runs batted in by Jose Miranda, who has 21 and 8, respectively, while Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach have a combined 39 hits and 27 RBI. The Twins have a record of 4-1 over their last 5 games played on Wednesday and a record of 4-9 over their last 13 games played during game 3 of a series.

The New York Yankees have scored three or fewer runs in each of their past five games, and they have scored three runs or fewer in each of their last five games. When scoring three runs or fewer, the Yankees have a record of 3-9 thus far this season. The Yankees are led in hits and runs batted in by Anthony Rizzo, who has 24 and 11, respectively. Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu have combined for 42 hits and 20 RBI. The Yankees have a record of 36-15 over their previous 51 games played on Wednesday and a record of 6-1 over their last 7 games played during game 3 of a series.

I'm not excited about either of the starting pitchers, but the Twins play quickly at home, and the Yankees have trouble putting together offensive runs. The Americans are in an annoying dry spell right now, and until they show they can pull themselves together, it's hard to take them seriously. So, it's a good idea to bet on the Minnesota Twins to win.
