Twins vs. Yankees Offense Outlook
For the season, the Twins are averaging 4.4 runs per game, which is 11th in the league. However, they have been better on the road, averaging 5 runs per game. As a team, they are batting just .231, which is 18th in the league, and have a collective on-base percentage of .304.
Carlos Santana and Ryan Jeffers are the two biggest home run threats in the Twins lineup, but Santana is batting just .215 this season, and Jeffers is hitting .246. Jeffers’ 36 RBIs are 12th in the league, and his 12 homers are the most on the team. Over his last eight games, Jose Miranda is batting .250 with two homers, and Ryan Jeffers has also gone deep twice, but is just 5/26 in that stretch.
Not only do the Yankees lead the league in home runs, but they are also the top-scoring team in the league, averaging 4.9 runs per game. They have been even better on the road, averaging 5.1 runs per contest. As a team, the Yankees are batting .256, which is the 4th best mark in the league. They also have the best on-base percentage and OPS in the league.
Juan Soto and Aaron Judge have been two of the best power hitters in the league this season, with Soto’s 17 homers ranking 3rd in the league and Judge’s 21 homers leading all MLB players. Soto comes into the game on a seven-game hitting streak, and both players have gone 11/30 in their last eight games.
Free Twins vs. Yankees MLB Pick
With Luis Gil on the mound for the Yankees, the oddsmakers have the total set at 7.5 runs, as they must not think the Twins offense will be able to contribute much offensively in this one. However, the Yankees have scored at least six runs in four straight games and could get close to taking this one over the total by themselves. I’m going with the over in Tuesday’s Twins vs Yankees matchup.
