We've seen this situation a few times this year where a club has to fly in for a makeup game and then fly right back out. It usually doesn't go well for that team. I don't expect it to for Minnesota, either. Aaron Judge is in the lineup for the Yanks after leaving Sunday night's game with some dizziness. New York's Luis Gil is the first Yankees pitcher to start his first four MLB appearances and allow just three total runs over those first four starts -- the previous team record was five runs by Chase Whitley in 2014 and Slow Joe Doyle in 1906. Slow Joe Doyle. That's awesome.
The average total between these two teams this year has been 11.8 over the six games they’ve played. Today's weather should help the total as there's wind blowing out to right, which effectively makes the short porch at Yankee Stadium even shorter. The Yankees’ pitching has been a mess as they’ve allowed 5+ in each of their last eight games with an average of 7.1 allowed. The Twins play high-scoring games on the road at a good rate, with an Over record of 42-25-4 while away from Minnesota. I expect both starters to struggle and for runs to be scored liberally, so grab the Over.
