Free MLB Pick

The Twins haven’t gotten their bats going yet, ranking 25th in runs per game and 28th in OPS. They’ll face a young pitcher Jhony Brito who has looked good in his two starts this season, tossing five innings in both and allowing just one earned run on five hits. Minnesota will send out Joe Ryan, who has looked good, excluding one inning where he gave up a grand slam. He doesn’t have a lot of history against the Yankees lineup (.200 BA and .385 OPS in 10 ABs), and while he did allow four runs in four innings against the Yankees in his only start versus them coming last September, a similar outing and a little help from the pen may be all we need for this game to stay Under. Take the UNDER 8.
