New York at Minnesota

The Minnesota Twins have dropped 95 games or more over each of the past two seasons. They have become somewhat more competitive this season, but right now they are not playing very well and all indicators for the weak performance point right to the starting pitching. The Twins are competitive at the top of the rotation, but once you get deep into the starters, they fall off a cliff. Lately, no one has been pitching well as the Twins' staff has allowed 4 runs or more in 12 of their last 15 games. J. Walters at 2-4 with a 6.04 ERA, certainly isn't a quick fix on the mound tonight. C.C. Sabathia owns a 16-8 career mark vs. the Twins, limiting them to a .236 batting average against him. The Yanks are now 40-14 behind Sabathia vs. a losing team in his last 54 against them. The Yankees have dominated the Twins at 41-13 in the last 54 meetings, including 4-0 here behind Sabathia. Play on the Yankees.
