Tonights Pick:
Minnesota is struggling in September as they a 1-6 in their past seven games and are just 1-10 in their last 11 road games. Against New York, the Twins are 1-9 in their last 10 games overall and 0-10 in their last 10 games at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are 4-1 in their past five games and 6-0 in their last six games at home. New York is hoping this series turns around their epic collapse, and the Twins are generally the team for the Yankees to use a punching bag. That continues Thursday.
