The Yankees took four of the six contests between these two squads this season. Paxton had one start this season against the Twins tossing three scoreless innings and getting a ND in a Yanks win. Jose Berrios toes the rubber for the Twins and he’ll be making his first start against NYY since 2018 when they roughed him up for five runs in four innings pitched.
The Braves took four of the six meetings these two teams played this season including two of three played at SunTrust Park in Atlanta. Keuchel didn’t start any of the six games and will be making his first start against the Cards since august 2016 when he was with the Astros. St. Louis starter Miles Mikolas made one start against Atlanta and it was pretty good going seven innings allowing three runs and striking out nine, but he took the loss in a 5-2 Braves win.
