Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees Prediction: Yankees to make up for the last game loss

The New York Yankees dropped their second game of the series against Minnesota, defeated by the Twins 1-8. Will the Yankees be able to rebound in game three of the away confrontation? Let's pick a few options to bet on at once.

Minnesota comes to life

After an unexpected loss to Detroit, when the Twins lost on the road to the Tigers in 4 games out of 5, the team from Minnesota is close to a second consecutive victory over the top-tier team of the American League. The series with the Yankees is tied 1-1 before the decisive meeting, and before that, the Twins handled Toronto on the road, 9-3, 3-12, 8-6.

In the second game against the Yankees, Minnesota defeated a powerful opponent by all accounts, 8-1. Starting pitcher Chris Archer pitched a perfect game, allowing 1 run in 5 complete innings. Relievers Griffin Jax, Emilio Pagan and Caleb Thielbar worked a perfect game. Offensively, Jose Miranda was the best, striking out 3 of 4 and racking up 3 RBI.

Minnesota's starting pitcher for Game 3 of the series with the Yankees is Dylan Bundy, 3-3, and a 5.57 ERA in 9 starts.

It's been a long time since the Yankees lost like this

A crushing 1-8 defeat in the previous game is an exception to the rule for the current Yankees. Aaron Boone's team is very confident going the distance in the league and tops the American League standings with a 40-16 balance. What's more, there is no team in the National League with a better balance than the Yankees at the moment.

The legendary Gerrit Cole will pitch for the Yankees in Game 3 of the series at Target Field, 5-1 and a 2.78 ERA in 11 starts this season.
