Minnesota Twins at New York Yankees Prediction

Leading into Tuesday’s matchup between Minnesota and New York, the Yankees are the heavy favorite on the moneyline. Although it’s tough to say if New York has finally turned things around, as they have won 2 straight games, they have a good chance to pick up another win with Gerrit Cole on the mound. I expect the Yankees to score enough of Joe Ryan to grab the victory and cover the runline.
