The New York Yankees will go for a series and season sweep of the Minnesota Twins tonight when they wrap up their 3-game set at the Stadium. The Bombers’ bats were active again last night in their 9-5 victory over Minnesota and have now outscored the Twins 28-7 over their first 5 meetings. Tonight’s expected starter for New York is Marcus Stroman and he has been dealing. Over his last 3 turns, Stroman is 2-0 with a 1.31 ERA and a hardly visible WHIP of 0.77. Minnesota is expected to counter with Pablo López and over his last 3 turns, not so good. López is 1-2 with an elevated ERA of 7.56 and a 1.44 WHIP. Numbers like that do not bode well against the lethal Yankees lineup. The Bombers are hot and clicking on every cylinder so ride them until they are not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
