Featured Game| Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees
Why you should back the Twins
Minnesota has been dominant in the first two games of the series, cruising to a 6-1 win on Monday and a 6-2 win on Tuesday. Right fielder Max Kepler had three hits and Joey Gallo homered in the series opener, while starting pitcher Joe Ryan became the first pitcher to win five games this season on Tuesday. Second baseman Jorge Polanco and designated hitter Byron Buxton each had two hits in the second game of the series.
They are facing an erratic starting pitcher on Wednesday afternoon, as New York's Domingo German has allowed four earned runs two times already this season. The Yankees have been held to three runs or fewer 10 times in their last 12 games and are riding a season-high three-game losing streak. Minnesota is 12-4 as a favorite this season, making Wednesday's game a profitable spot to back the Twins. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back the Yankees
German has been inconsistent through his first four starts, but he was outstanding against Minnesota on April 15. He retired the first 16 batters and struck out 11, allowing one earned run across 6.1 strong innings. Meanwhile, Minnesota starter Kenta Maeda is 0-3 with a 4.15 ERA so far this season after being forced to leave his last start in the second inning.
The Twins are outside the top 20 in the majors in team batting average and have not swept New York in a series in 32 years. First baseman Anthony Rizzo leads New York with a .286 average, five home runs and 11 RBI. Center fielder Aaron Judge has six home runs, while third baseman DJ LeMahieu is batting .296.
