Minnesota vs New York Yankees Prediction: the Best NY Team to Claim Another Victory

The Yankees handily defeated Minnesota 10:4 in the first game of the away series. Will the Twins get revenge in the second meeting? Let's choose several options for betting.

The Twins have been having trouble. Rocco Baldelli's team, despite beating Toronto (9-3, 3-12, 8-6) before the meetings with the Yankees, had lost four out of five games to not very strong Detroit - 5-7, 8-2, 0-4, 0-5, 2-3. Minnesota's recent setbacks, however, haven't had much of an impact on their tournament placing. The Twins, with a 32-25, sit in fifth place in the American League standings.

Minnesota's starting pitcher for the second game of the series with the Yankees is Chris Archer, 0-2 and with a 3.89 ERA in 10 starts this season.

So far, Aaron Boone's team has been giving everyone in their division and conference a head start in this league, as well as the entire MLB. With a 40-15 balance, the New York Yankees are by far the strongest in the league.

The first game at Target Field was very easy, even despite the failure of starting pitcher Jameson Taillon - 4 comceded runs in 4 complete innings. The offense backed up its pitcher, scoring 10 runs. Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo each recorded 3 RBI, while D.J. LeMahieu, Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Trevino and Joey Gallo each added 1 RBI.

Pitching for the Yankees in the upcoming game will be Nestor Cortez, the MLB's best pitcher with a 1.50 slugging percentage. In 10 starts, Cortez has five wins and only one loss.

The first game of the series showed the difference between the current rivals. In the second, the Yankees will surely outplay the Twins as well. Especially with New York's Nestor Cortez, one of the strongest pitchers of the MLB season. Prediction - another win for the Yankees.
