Prediction New York Yankees vs Minnesota Twins
With Rodon’s strikeout ability against a lineup that has struck out often this season and New York’s advantage at the plate, the Yankees hold the clear edge. Minnesota will need Woods Richardson to limit his mistakes, which looks unlikely against Judge, Stanton, and company. Final Score Prediction: New York Yankees win 7-3.
