Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Joe Ryan has been a model of consistency for the Twins. He has 11 wins, a 2.79 ERA, and 12 quality starts for the season. His last outing saw him give up just one run in five innings. He’s likely to deliver another strong start in this game. New York’s Cam Schlittler has yet to record a quality start and has a 4.38 ERA in five starts. His inexperience at the major league level is a critical factor when handicapping his starts.
Key Players
- Aaron Judge: The Yankees slugger leads the Yankees with a .337 average and 38 home runs. He hit a home run in the Yankees’ win over Minnesota on Tuesday.
- Giancarlo Stanton: Stanton went 4-for-5 with a homer in Tuesday’s 9-1 win. That was his first four-hit game in nearly two years.
- Joe Ryan: The Twins’ ace has provided reliable starts all season. He needs to slow down Judge and Stanton for his team to have a shot in this game.
Recent team streaks
- The Yankees have won three of their last four games.
- Minnesota has lost two straight games to the Yankees and three of their last four games overall.

Final Thoughts
Joe Ryan should give the Twins a fighting chance in this game. But the Yankees’ recent offensive explosion should tilt the scales back toward New York. The Yankees are outscoring the Twins 15-3 through the first two games of this series. I don’t know that this game will be quite as lopsided, but I’m still taking the Yankees to get the win.
